Alain Brumont Madiran Tour Bouscasse 2019

Of all the wines that Alain Brumont makes, the wines from Chateau Bouscasse are the most polished. To Alain they reflect the style of wine that was prevalent in Madiran during the 1800’s. Deep purple-red in appearance, the nose of the Tour Bouscasse has forceful aromas of rich blackcurrants, black plums, licorice, dark chocolate, cardamom and vanilla. The palate is bold with moutfilling blackfruit flavors and muscular tannins. On the finish a dusting of cocoa and baking spice rounds things out. We suggest serving this wine with Gascon style duck confit and cassoulet.
