Château Bouscassé - Menhir 2004

Château Bouscassé - Menhir 2004

Alain Brumont sought to break new ground by producing a fine wine from Tannat and Merlot grapes on one of Bouscassé’s finest terroirs. The gray clay soils give rise to a unique blend: a marriage of the Tannat’s exuberant fruit and depth with the Merlot’s velvety texture. A delightful surprise!
