Château Bouscassé 'Frimaire' Pacherenc du Vic Bilh 1996
Vintage Character
From the historic clay-limestone slopes of Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, the legendary 1996 Bouscasse Frimaire represents a masterclass in late-harvest sweet winemaking. This exceptional vintage benefited from a dry, sunny autumn that allowed for perfect passerillage on the vine, naturally concentrating the sugars while preserving a vital, electric acidity. The distinct clay-gravel and limestone soils of Château Bouscassé yield old-vine Petit Manseng grapes with immense structural backbone and mineral complexity, defining this rare sweet nectar.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The wine reveals an incredibly complex nose of candied apricot, dried orange peel, white flowers, and exotic honeyed spices. On the palate, the luscious sweetness of the Petit Manseng is brilliantly balanced by a thrilling, laser-like acidity, creating a beautifully textured mouthfeel and a long, mineral-driven finish. Enjoy this exquisite dessert wine alongside classic pan-seared foie gras, a rustic French apple tarte tatin, or artisanal Roquefort cheese.
Winery Background
Château Bouscassé is the historic family estate of Alain Brumont, the legendary pioneer who single-handedly revolutionized South West France's winemaking. Through meticulous hand-harvesting in multiple passes and sustainable farming, Brumont coaxes extraordinary depth from his vineyards. The hand-picked grapes are slowly fermented and aged in fine French oak barrels, reflecting an uncompromising philosophy that makes Brumont a global benchmark for late-harvest sweet wines.
