The property
Emblematic property of the Brumont family, the Château Bouscassé has established itself over the years as a reference of the Madiran appellation, driven by Alain Brumont's passion for the great terroirs of the South-West. The estate extends over 50 hectares of vineyards, spread over a mosaic of micro-terroirs that give the wines great precision and remarkable aromatic richness.
The vineyard
The Jardins Philosophiques comes from a selection of plots from the Bouscassé vineyard, covering 9 hectares out of the 85 total hectares of the estate. The 45-year-old vines are planted on fine yellow and white clay soils resting on fractured limestone. Facing south/south-west at an altitude of 150 meters, they benefit from a high planting density (8,000 feet/ha), favoring the concentration of aromas and the complexity of the wine. The harvest is carried out manually to preserve the integrity of the grapes of this great Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh wine.
Vinification and aging
For the 2019 Jardins Philosophiques, vinification begins with a rigorous selection of different plots from the Bouscassé vineyard. The whole grapes undergo a long pressing of 3 to 5 hours, allowing the aromas to be delicately extracted. Only the best juices, selected after tasting, are kept for fermentation which takes place in stainless steel tanks. Aging continues for 12 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, bringing complexity and freshness to the wine.
