Notes: RVF 16/20, Guide Hachette 3*** (Exceptional Wine)
“The color is dark, almost black, heralding a concentrated and intense nose that blends roasted and meaty notes with spices (pepper, cinnamon) and very ripe black and red fruits. On the palate, it is full-bodied, silky, and velvety. A perfect reflection of the bouquet, it reveals toasty oak that blends beautifully with the fruit, all enhanced by spices and licorice.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2011)

Rated Estate (2027 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that—thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines—belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Alain Brumont has helped the Madiran appellation flourish alongside his two estates, Montus and Bouscassé. Primarily planted on one of the vineyard’s ridgelines—the Maumusson hill—Château Bouscassé spans 50 hectares spread across all four cardinal directions. Antoine Veiry, Alain Brumont’s son-in-law, is taking over from the charismatic winemaker and making these clay-rich terroirs his own, leaving his mark starting with the 2018 vintage. While the wines are still designed for aging, their profile is changing significantly, following the same upward trajectory as Montus. The quality and consistency of the range presented justify the awarding of a second star this year.
