Bouscasse represents the most open and polished wine from Alain Brumont’s extensive holdings in the region. The vines are planted on hillsides with yellow and white clay layered over fissured limestone. Bouscasse is meant to reflect the history of the region, made in the style of the 18th century heyday of Madiran.
The wine is big and bold, packed with both fruit and tannins. It has great structure and a dense dusty tannic character that promises great aging but which will be drinking now with a dcent decant.
Tannat 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35% and Cabernet Franc 25%
