A FEW QUOTATIONS
Steven Spurrier :
The wines of Alain Brumont are at the same level as Château Latour and the
greatest wines in the world”. Alain Brumont is, in the world of wines "A bull fighter”.
Robert Parker : « The Wine Advocate»
“These are unreal wines that are purely made, remarkably rich hand so completed
promising that they cannot be ignored.”
Bettane & Desseauve :
«Unbelievable Terroirs … monumental wines ». «The Petrus of the South West.
Madiran has rediscovered its original varietal and its roots: those of an ageing wine
capable of competing with the best Bordeaux wines « La Tyre is of equal standing
as Vega Sicilia-Pingus ».
Andrew Jefford, “The New France”
“The wines of Château Montus and Château Bouscassé are classified among the
ten icons of Southern France, next to Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Petrus, Haut-Brion,
Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, Yquem.”
Alain Brumont’s Method
Water – Sun –Wood – Terroir
• Water: Alain Brumont uses only natural spring water taken from his
timbered hills, not polluted thanks to the ideal and privileged
environment of Gascony.
• Sun orientation is at 15:00PM for the rows
• Work on the single bunch and
replace the traditional yield by
the number of bunch per vine.
• Vineyards located at the top of the hills, each parcel being separated by
a wood, this in order to avoid contamination from one vineyard to
another.
Water – Sun –Wood – Terroir
• Ideal Climate to obtain one of the most balanced graps in France
- altitude 250 m to 280 m
• High variation of temperature between days and nights that fix
natural acidity in quantity and in quality.
• Autochthones grape varieties such as Tannat, Petit Courbu and
Petit Manseng that are perfectly adapted to that terroir

natural acidity and tannins allow 20 to 30 years ageing
