Château Bouscassé - Les Larmes Célestes 2011 (Sweet)

Château Bouscassé - Les Larmes Célestes 2011 (Doux)

Les Larmes Célestes is a special and original cuvée of sweet Pacherenc, made from a second selection—the result of when the three stages of the harvest do not meet the criteria set by Alain Brumont. A highly aromatic wine with subtle sweetness, thanks to a rich acidity that binds the sugars together… The essence of Gascony on the palate!

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.
