Producer: Alain Brumont.
Critic tasting note: (2020 vintage) "Aged for three years in a mix of small, large and older barrels, the wine is impressive. Smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins show the concentration of the wine. Blending mainly Tannat with the two Cabernets, the wine is full of black-plum flavors, laced with still-young acidity. Drink from 2026." - Wine Enthusiast

About the Product
- Producer Notes
- Château Bouscassé has belonged to the Brumont family for several generations. The property includes 50 hectares of superb clay-limestone terroir along the cliff in the commune of Maumusson-Laguian. This terroir is also somewhat humorously known as the Pied de Côte de Saint Emilion ("The foot of the Saint Emilion Slope"), because the Tannat that grows there produces a wine that has similar characteristics to some of the great wines of Bordeaux's right bank, in that they possess a rigorous style, a refined structure and a substantial potential to age.

-
Vinification and Maturing 3 to 6 weeks maceration Fermentation at 28°C.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Harmony and power, a delicate fruitiness with aromas of blackberries and well-integrated tannins, full-bodied on the palate. This is a wine that stays young for a long time, evolving very slowly, and thus has a good potential to age.
