About the Wine
Tannat is a pretty full-throttle kind of grape, and the wines resulting from this variety are definitely not for the faint hearted.
That is, unless your Tannat is coming from a master of the grape - like Alain Brumont. This wine sees Tannat blended with both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, keeping the body and depth these varieties are known for, but offering it in a refined and elegant package.
This is a nice introduction to the Tannat world if you haven't dabbled here before.
About Chateau Bouscasse
The appellation of Madiran, in the foothills of the Pyrenees and south of Bordeaux, is home to Chateau Bouscasse.
Alain Brumont, the proprietor and winemaker of the estate, is one who arguably put Madiran on the map in terms of wine. At odds with his fathers approach to winemaking at their family domaine, in 1980 he decided to leave and set up his own.
It's a move that has truly paid off - focussing on quality, Brumont makes delicious wines that express the terroir of Madiran and celebrate its hero red grape, Tannat.

From the Producer
60% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc yielding 45 hl/ha. Malo is done in barrel and the wine is bottled without filtration. A very perfumed and refined expression of Madiran offering more body and depth than many Bordeaux at prices that reach well above the modest price for this wine. Fragrant with blackcurrants plum and spice. Wonderfully fresh on the palate with remarkably refined tannins.

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
