Notes sur le produit

Château Bouscassé has belonged to the Brumont family for several generations. The property includes 50 hectares of superb clay-limestone terroir along the cliff in the commune of Maumusson-Laguian. This terroir is also somewhat humorously known as the Pied de Côte de Saint Emilion ("The foot of the Saint Emilion Slope"), because the Tannat that grows there produces a wine that has similar characteristics to some of the great wines of Bordeaux's right bank, in that they possess a rigorous style, a refined structure and a substantial potential to age.

Élaboration du produit

Cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by gravitational vatting without crushing and then a slow fermentation followed by a long maceration of 30 to 45 days (adapted to the vintage). The wine is then aged for 36 months in barrels and oval wooden 80 hl casks. It is bottled after 36 months of ageing, then at least 2 years in bottle before release

Notes de dégustation

Harmony and power, a delicate fruitiness with aromas of blackberries and well-integrated tannins, full-bodied on the palate. This is a wine that stays young for a long time, evolving very slowly, and thus has a good potential to age.

Mars 2026 (Millésime 2020)

Huge aromas. Dense and dark as a forest in the dead of night. Blackcurrant, bramble, graphite, plums, something meaty and animal too, and blackcurrant leaf. Huge in the mouth too, the wine slips and slides across the tongue, and eventually lands with fairly substantial tannic might and a pulse of deep plummy perfume, like a bubble rising to the surface. Matured in barrels, 30%-50% of which were new oak. Drinking window might be conservative, but the sweet delectable fruit is so delicious that I'm inclined to say enjoy it in its relative youth.

Novembre 2020 (Millésime 2017)

From the home estate of Madiran's guru Alain Brumont, the wine is a rich blend of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Still so young but with great potential, it is a ripe, black fruit and spice flavored wine, a fine summation of greatness in Madiran. The tannins are still dense and the wine needs plenty of time.

Décembre 2025 (Millésime 2020)

Driven yet elegant, showing currants, spiced cherries, bark and warm spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Focused, structured and refined, offering velvety texture and a long, subtle finish. Tannat, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.

Septembre 2021 (Millésime 2016)

This new release from Alain Brumont has richness, spice and attractive wood-aging flavors. They go well with the succulent black fruits, backdrop of tannins and final perfumed acidity.
