“Aged for three years in a blend of small, large, and old barrels, this wine is impressive. Its smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins attest to its concentration. A blend primarily of Tannat and the two Cabernets, this wine is brimming with black plum aromas, enhanced by a still-youthful acidity. Best enjoyed starting in 2026.” (Wine Enthusiast 2025).

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
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 wine:
The same mastery is evident in the 2022 Madiran. The wine is lively, flavorful, refined, and elegant; it displays a lovely hint of licorice with violet undertones.
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, putting his signature on the wines 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.

About the wine:
Lively yet elegant, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, spicy cherries, bark, and warm spices on the nose, followed by a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Concentrated, structured, and refined, it offers a velvety texture and a long, subtle finish. Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Ready to drink or for aging.
