Alain Brumont - IGP Côtes de Gascogne - La Gascogne d'Alain Brumont 2024

Keywords : Aromatic / Fruity / Lively 

The wine : This cuvée signed by Alain Brumont perfectly embodies the spirit of the Côtes de Gascogne: a fresh, expressive, and resolutely indulgent white wine. From the moment it is opened, the nose captivates with a vibrant aromatic profile dominated by citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), accompanied by notes of green apple, crisp pear, and a delicate exotic touch. The palate is lively, light, and refreshing, carried by a beautiful tension and a fine minerality that brings balance and length. A friendly and accessible wine, designed for immediate enjoyment. Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs very well with seafood, grilled fish, or simple and fresh summer dishes.

The estate : No introduction needed for Alain Brumont ! Iconic figure of the Madiran appellation, he has, over 40 years, elevated his estates to the top of the South-West region and highlighted the incredible potential of the local Tannat grape variety.

It all began in 1979 when he inherited the family's 17 hectares of Château Bouscassé. Then, in the early 1980s, he acquired Château Montus and met Baron Philippe de Rothschild at Château Mouton-Rothschild (Grand Cru Classé of the Pauillac AOC): it was a turning point. Particularly inspired by their exchanges, he now openly displays his vision of producing great wines in Madiran, an appellation then mainly known for its rustic wines.

The first vintage of Château Montus in 1982 caused a sensation: the press praised the work accomplished while the French and international markets discovered a noble, powerful wine with definite aging potential. Since then, the man has never stopped searching for and selecting the best terroirs of his native region. Today, managing 250 hectares, the Brumont Vineyards continue to be an absolute reference throughout the South-West and Alain, although still involved, has now handed over the reins of the estate to his son-in-law Antoine Veiry.
