Its vines are located on different terroirs at different altitudes (between 15m and 400m). This makes it possible to produce wines with different characters and typicities, which are then vinified in their cellar at Maury.

La Gascogne d’Alain Brumont is a wine produced by the Brumont winery, founded by Alain Brumont, who has a reputation as one of the best winemakers in the world.
Brumont is credited with reviving the Madiran wine and taming the Tannat grape variety, and the intense La Gascogne d’Alain Merlot Tannat 2018 is testament to that. Another signature style of this winery is the Gros Manseng Sauvignon, which perfectly combines the structure and freshness of Gros Manseng with the fruity aromas of Sauvignon.
