Alain Brumont 2006 Château Bouscassé Vieilles Vignes Tannat (Madiran)

  1. $50
Some vines at Bouscassé are 150 years old, which inevitably give this wine great depth and concentration. It is hugely structured, with very rich, intense black-plum flavors. The tannins are still developing.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Alain Brumont 2007 Château Montus Tannat-Cabernet Franc (Madiran)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $35
This legendary Madiran is, its fruit tannins just softened by wood aging. It’s smoky, brooding, very concentrated, and worth aging for 10 years.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Alain Brumont 2009 Château Montus Blanc White (Pacherenc du Vic Bilh)

  • Online Exclusive
The white wine at Montus is a blend of many of the local grapes, including the rare Petit Courbu. It has a herbaceous character that’s broadened with toast and lively acidity. Finely perfumed and rich, it has an apple- and quince-flavored finish.  — R.V.  (3/1/2013)

Alain Brumont 2006 Le Jardin Philosophique Petit Courbu (Pacherenc du Vic Bilh)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
With its spice, white pear and nutmeg flavors, this is a rich wine, round, full-bodied, packed with apple skin tannins, and a welcome and balancing freshness. The alcohol does show, however, in the pepper feel to the aftertaste.  — R.V.  (11/15/2008)
