Without doubt, the leading estate in Madiran for the last 20 years, owner, Alain Brumont has done an enormous amount for the appellation. He set the example by reducing yields, increasing significantly the density of vines per hectare, using only the best available grafts, harvesting perfectly ripe grapes and oak-ageing most of his wine.
Today, Brumont is still bursting with fresh ideas and is constantly working in improving his wines, from the very well-priced vins de Pays range to the magnificent La Tyre.
This is the Baby wine of Alain Brumont`s three sweet Pacherenc, Vendemiaire is issued from Petit Manseng grapes harvested in October. Lighter-bodied than its two cousins - Brumaire and Frimaire - this softly-textured wine shows enticing aromas of apricot, marmelade and exotic fruit. Very well balanced with a lovely, discreet acidity on the finish.
