WINEMAKER NOTES

Château Bouscassé is Alain Brumont’s family property in Maumusson-Laguian. Some of the vines that are used to make this 100% Tannat Madiran are more than one hundred-years-old, and are planted on superb terroirs. These consist of small plots of fine clay soil on the edge of Maumusson-Laguian’s old cliff that produce a distinguished, elegant, sleek wine, with a very good potential to age.

TASTING NOTES

Tannat gives fruity notes and soft aromas of cigar and mocha.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
