About Alain Brumont

The unconventional winemaker Alain Brumont grows the ancient, small-berried autochthonous grape variety Tannat in southwest France's Madiran. Brumont has succeeded in taming this highly astringent grape variety, known for its high tannin content, in the best plots of the terroir: in Montus with its stony, steep southern slopes, on the Boucassé plateaus with ironstone and manganese soils, and in Gascogne with its limestone subsoil. He carefully processes it in new barriques into salon-quality, discreet and extremely long-lasting wines with powerful fruit.

The Region

The Sud-Ouest region encompasses the wine-growing areas of southwest France, with the exception of Bordeaux and Cognac. The areas around Bordeaux, Gascogne and the Basque Country are climatically influenced by the nearby Atlantic, while some inland regions benefit from drier, hotter summers. Numerous rivers create predominantly clay, sand and gravel soils, while the foothills of the Pyrenees and the highlands form a variety of rock types. In Haut-Pays, largely the same grape varieties as in Bordeaux are grown, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, although the wines are less well known and therefore often more affordable. In the south grows one of the most interesting collections of local grape varieties in all of Europe: here you will find names such as Abouriou, Baroque, Duras and Petit Courbu, which are vinified into exciting wines by adventurous winemakers.
