Food and Wine Pairings
Enjoy it with sheep’s milk cheese—it’s a great alternative to traditional jam… It’s divine with Roquefort, with chocolate desserts, and with any dessert topped with red fruit coulis. Alain Brumont’s top pick: strawberries with Montus Vintage!

About the estate:
Alain Brumont was already at the helm of Château Bouscassé, his family’s ancestral estate, when he purchased Montus at auction in 1979. In 1982, he planted the entire Montus hillside exclusively with Tannat! Aged 100% in new barrels, the wine is extraordinary. Forty years later, in 2018, he welcomed Antoine Veiry, the son of his wife Laurence, who took over as technical director of the estate after gaining experience at Anselme Selosse, with Hervé Bizeul at Clos des Fées, at Les Carmes Haut-Brion, and at Guigal... Surrounded by a young and dynamic team, Antoine challenges and builds upon the legacy of the Brumont era, favoring longer vatting periods and gentler extractions, all while preserving the wines’ profile and aging potential. Drawing on a vineyard in its prime (between 35 and 40 years old), he has redefined a modernized range. In just a few years, the results have been spectacular, and the third star—already widely anticipated last year—is a logical recognition of a production that stands at the pinnacle not only of its appellation but of the entire region.
