Château Bouscassé 2010 Vieilles Vignes A powerful and deeply expressive Madiran crafted from old-vine Tannat, the 2010 Vieilles Vignes is a benchmark wine from Alain Brumont’s famed estate. The vintage delivers exceptional concentration, with a dark, opaque color and layered aromatics of black plum, cassis, dried violet, licorice, graphite, and subtle cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, showing dense black fruit wrapped in finely polished yet authoritative tannins. Notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and earthy minerality emerge with air, leading to a long, persistent finish. Complex, robust, and built for longevity, this wine beautifully reflects both the character of old vines and the strength of the 2010 vintage. Ideal to enjoy now with decanting or to continue cellaring for further evolution.
