1987, 1990, 1996 & 1997 Château Bouscasse / Madiran "Vieilles Vignes"
Arrow

Description

A small vertical of one bottle each of 4 vintages.
Level
1987 Very Top Shoulder. Label is faded but vintage is discernible.
1990 Base of Neck. Label - see photo photo.
1996 Well into neck. Label - see photo.
1997 Well into neck. Label - see photo.
All four are the "Vieilles Vignes" version and are fermented over a month and aged in 100% new French oak. Tannat is almost restricted to the Madiran Appellation and although it has been planted elsewhere, it remains a very much Madiran = Tannat combination. A refreshing change from the ubiquitous Merlot, Cabernets et al.

Alain Brumont, owner/winemaker at Château Bouscasse has achieved almost legendary notoriety.
He’s flirted with financial catastrophe; he’s had a long series of battles with France’s wine authorities; the family house at Bouscassé burned down in 1987; he’s seen an employee killed and another die of a heart attack.

But despite it all, he’s still enthusiastic, energetic, planning for the future – and producing, from 300 hectares of vineyards, what are, for me, France’s most undervalued fine wines.

Few wine producers anywhere in the world dominate their region like Brumont does Madiran. It’s an astonishing story for a man whose father insisted he terminate his education at 16 to replace an injured farm employee, and whose only formal wine training was a three-week tasting course he took in his 30s.
