Inside Information

History Bouscaut’s vineyard has been in existence since the 17th century on the Cadaujac commune, in the Pessac-Léognan AOC, formerly called Graves. The Chabanneaux family bought the property at the end of the 19th century. The name Bouscaut (named after the place) appeared under their aegis towards 1881, replacing the name Haut Truchon.
