The history of Château Bouscaut dates back to the end of the 19th century when the Chabanneau family acquired it. It has been called Château Bouscaut since 1881, after the village in which it is located, replacing Château Haut-Truchon.

Château Bouscaut has been one of the 6 Grands Crus Classés of Graves in red and white since 1953. After the terrible fire that completely destroyed the château in 1961, only the cellars could be saved and Robert Place asked the Bordeaux architect Michel Garros to rebuild the castle identically.

In 1979, Lucien Lurton acquired Château Bouscaut, while he was already the owner of a dozen Grands Crus, namely Château Brane-Cantenac, Château Durfort-Vivens and Château Desmirail in Margaux. He passed the estate to his daughter Sophie in 1992.

Since then, Sophie Lurton and her husband, Laurent Cogombles, an agricultural engineer, have continued the work undertaken by Lucien Lurton by replanting the vineyard and improving the equipment: installation of concrete vats, construction of a new barrel cellar.
