Regional grape varieties

During the eighties, Alain Brumont was the first winegrower in France to impose these regional grape varieties amongst other great varieties. With these three grape varieties, Tannat, Petit Courbu and Petit Manseng and the help of powerful terroirs Alain Brumont has managed to class his wines amongst some of the greatest, and this in all 3 colours (red, dry white and sweet white)

Tannat (red wines)
Today it competes with the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Bordeaux Merlot, the Bourgogne Pinot and the Syrah from the Northern Côtes du Rhône (Cotes Rôties, Hermitage).
The Tannat produces dark wines with discreet and powerful fruit, deep wines always well-balanced that beat all longevity records.

Petit Courbu (dry whites)
Competes with Bourgogne, Alsace and Loire whites.
The Petit Courbu produces smooth, fat, generous and refreshing wines.

Petit Manseng (sweet whites)
The sugar content with its very high natural acidity produce complex original harmonious and very refreshing wines. The sweet wines made from Petit Manseng are increasingly in demand. They are ideal with foie gras and most pastries. They like being left open in the refrigerator (on condition that the cork has not been replaced upside down)!

3 future grape varieties
These grape varieties balance themselves out and are sufficient on their own. Alain Brumont recommends a total banning of chaptalization, the addition or deacidification of the wine throughout the world.
