“Reflections of the Gascon Meadows”

“The proximity of the Pyrenees has a beneficial effect on the wines’ acidity, and the very low pH levels allow the grapes to reach full ripeness, giving the 2018 Jardins de Bouscassé the stature of a rich, full-bodied white wine, balanced by its bitter notes.” (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Wine rated (2024 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 proximity of the Pyrenees has a beneficial effect on the wines’ acidity, and the very low pH levels allow the grapes to reach full ripeness, giving the 2018 Jardins de Bouscassé the stature of a rich, full-bodied white wine, balanced by its bitter notes.

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.
