Madiran
Château Bouscassé has belonged to the Brumont family for several generations. It comprises 50 hectares of large clay-limestone soil along the cliff of the commune of Maumusson-Laguian. This terroir is also humorously nicknamed "Le Pied de Côte de Saint-Emilion", because Tannat gives it a wine that has certain characteristics similar to the great wines of the right bank of Bordeaux: rigor, fine structure and long potential for keep.

Tasting comments
Harmony in power, a delicate fruitiness with aromas of
ripe on well-melted tannins and a fleshy mouth.
It is a wine which remains young, with a slow evolution and therefore a
good aging potential.
