Château Bouscassé
At the base of the slopes in Maumusson‑Laguian, in Madiran, Château Bouscassé—Alain Brumont’s family estate—rests on roughly 50 hectares of clay‑limestone soils along a distinct escarpment. This is Madiran at its most serious: well‑drained parcels, cool nights and a terroir that favors structure over easy softness.
Tannat is the backbone, supported in some parcels by classic Bordeaux varieties, with selective harvesting aimed at ripe skins and refined tannin quality. In the cellar, extended maceration and barrel élevage are used to polish the frame while preserving the grape’s natural authority and longevity; the deep, cool underground cellars underline that long‑term mindset.
The signature feels purposeful and age‑worthy: a disciplined Madiran where power is channelled into balance, shaped by Brumont’s pioneering vision and meticulous, parcel‑based work.Château Bouscassé
