Alain Brumont 2011 Château Bouscassé Red (Madiran)

Country: France / Southwest France
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Alain Brumont / Château Bouscassé

Bouscassé is the home of Alain Brumont who also owns Château Montus in Madiran. This powerful wine with its blend of Tannat with the two Cabernets (Franc and Sauvignon) is dense and packed with firm tannins. It is also equally full of generous black-plum fruits and considerable acidity. This is still young—it’s a concentrated wine that needs to age further. Drink from 2019.
