The wine

This cuvée comes from one of the region''s finest terroirs, where Malbec and Merlot thrive on clay-rich and pebbly soils. The wine is matured in oak foudres for one or two years and displays a beautiful garnet colour and abundant aromas of red and dark fruits. Its rounded texture has an elegant tannic backbone which gives the wine good ageing potential.

Information about domain 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.
