Vignobles Brumont

Alain Brumont, a visionary in Southwest France, has revitalized Madiran wines and the Tannat grape. His journey began in 1979 with the inheritance of Château Bouscassé, followed by the purchase of Château Montus in 1980. Through his dedication to the region’s terroir, Brumont transformed both estates into world-class status.

As Brumont describes, Château Bouscassé is most comparable to Right Bank Bordeaux, while Château Montus more closely resembles the Left Bank.

Starting with 17 hectares, Brumont now owns over 350 hectares, with meticulous attention to detail. Most of their cuvées are aged for a minimum of 30 months, first in barriques and then in 80-hectolitre foudres, with at least 50% of the barrels being new oak. This allows the Tannat to soften its tannins and fully express its potential. All wines undergo additional bottle ageing before being released to the market.
