Les Jardins de Bouscassé Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Sec Petit Courbu Petit Manseng 2018

Crushed silex rocks, a bit of rubber, hay, white peach, apricot... This is quite complex! The palate shows a relatively strong acid drive, some yellow fruits all along, a good width and a soft mouthfeel, some minerally notes too, almost a chalky layer, and some yellow fruits and tangy, almost citrusy notes in the rear. This is pretty good and the value is amazing at around 12 eur retail — 9 months ago

Le Blanc Petit Courbu - Petit Manseng Blend

Birthday /Memorial Day party. Something off the beaten path, and my first Petite Courbu. Round, rich, and delicious with ripe pears and melon. — 2 years ago

Madiran Tannat Blend 2017

My prior experience with Tannat was limited to a bottle of Bodega Garzon, and I was not really a fan. This bottle gives me new perspective about the variety.

A blend of Tannat/CS/CF (60/20/20), it opens with ripe black fruits tinged with peppery spices, dark cocoa, cherry cola, and just hint of barnyard. Velvety palate with surprisingly polished tannins.

My first Madiran. Chateau Bouscassé is the home estate of Alain Brumont who also owns the more famous Chateau Montus.

Didn’t know they made anything other than dry wines with this grape.

Madiran Meinjarre Tannat 2016

No notes, to go along arguably the best cassoulet in the region. Black fruits on the nose, a bit of leather too. Great acid drive and great width, nice tannins all along and fine tannins that kick in the rear before a nice and delicate finish. Great stuff and pairing made in heaven. — a year ago
