Lot presentation

Madiran Château Bouscassé Alain Brumont 2000

The wine

A blend of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this Madiran comes from a clay-limestone terroir and was produced using sustainable farming techniques. Matured in barrels, of which 50% are new, this cuvée reveals superb black fruits aromas with a gentle power. Although present, the tannins meld into the wine’s dark, deep colour. An excellent Madiran, to be drunk in its first 10 years, with specialities of the South-West.

About the Producer Château Bouscassé

Owned by Alain Brumont, who is also at the head of Château Montus, Bouscassé is one of the big names of Madiran. In 1979, Alain Brumont left the family-owned domaine of Château Bouscassé and bought Château Montus. He completely changed the vineyards (with other rootstocks and seedlings selected…) and took inspiration from the Bordeaux model, aging his wines in small new oak barrels. In 1982, he made his first wines with the grapes from three-year-old vines. This great success marked the beginning of Madiran wine's worldwide renown. Some years later, he went back to running the family domaine, Château Bouscassé. The wines from both domains are vinified at Château Montus. Brumont is therefore the largest landowner in the appellation (with almost 180 hectares) and owns the best parcels.
