About the wine:
The 2018 Pinot Noir showcases a Burgundian profile at the foot of the Pyrenees: roundness, finesse, and complexity, with a low pH and 40% whole-cluster fermentation.
About the estate:
Alain Brumont has forged his own identity through a style that has sent wines from Madiran around the world under the Château Montus label, which he acquired in 1980. Often defying conventional wisdom, Brumont’s wines reflect his great freedom in interpreting terroirs with yellow and red clay subsoils, which vary in composition from 20% to 40%. Tannat is featured in the château’s three cuvées—Prestige, XL, Montus, and La Tyre—and undoubtedly delivers the most spectacular profile of this Pyrenean grape, which is not easy to work with.
