“A sweet wine of great elegance, perfectly balanced”

The Vendémiaire 2019 captivates with its generous bouquet of candied dried fruits, accented by exotic and honeyed notes. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, silky texture that is truly indulgent, with aromatic intensity that lingers for a long time. A true celebratory wine, it pairs perfectly with a foie gras terrine or desserts with tropical flavors.

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, 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:

Medium gold color. A pure, intensely sweet aroma of apricots and bitter orange, with a hint of dried herbs. Delicious and hard to spit out: sweet and slightly viscous, yet intensely fresh, with flavors of apricots and pineapple. Luscious and long on the palate, the oak is completely integrated and is only noticeable in a complementary texture that is both round and slightly clinging. This is not an overly complex wine, but it is a beautifully balanced sweet wine.
