Notes: Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine), Gault Millau 16/20
“The top prize goes to this Vieilles Vignes cuvée, with its inky color and violet highlights, and an intense, complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, sweet spices, and toasted notes. After a supple attack, the wine slowly builds in intensity, revealing a long, highly aromatic, generous, and full-bodied palate, structured by silky, licorice-like tannins. An exceptional Madiran, ideal for grilled red meat or duck breast—but best enjoyed in at least five years.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)

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.
