Cadaujac is one of the closest villages of the Pessac-Léognan appellation to Bordeaux. It is here that the Château of Lamothe-Bouscaut stands proud, along the national road that links Bordeaux to Toulouse. 12 Hectares of a single continuous vineyard surround the château, a former fortress dating back to the 12th century. Charted on a 17th century map of Belleyme, the vineyards of Lamothe-Bouscaut are a fine set of gravelly soils near the Garonne River. 6Has are planted to red with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot : it produces around 30 000 bottles/year. The whites on one hectare are planted with a majority of sémillons along with sauvignon blanc ; they produce 6 000 bottles a year. The wines from Lamothe-Bouscaut enjoyed an excellent and widespread reputation before the 2nd World War, as proven in the ‘Bible of Bordeaux wines’ – the Féret guide.
Sophie Lurton and her husband Laurent Cogombles, the owners of Château Bouscaut, bought the Lamothe-Bouscaut estate in 1999 from Mrs Martin who had entrusted the running of this beautiful vineyard to the Château Bouscaut team in 1945, so it was a natural progression. The Château Lamothe-Bouscaut label was thus reborn and re-launched in 1999 with both red and white wines.
