Château Bouscassé “Les Jardins Philosophiques” 2018
Like the colours and scents that one encounters in Chateau Bouscassé’s beautiful gardens, Les Jardins Philosophiques develops aromas of exotic fruit and wild flowers, characterizing the fragrant Gascon meadows. Fresh and lively on the palate, with a rounded texture and good volume, finish with a mineral touch.
