Note: Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine)
The Tannat-Merlot cuvée is a blend of grape varieties that are emblematic of the vineyards of southwestern France and Bordeaux. The two grape varieties are blended during the vinification process to produce a complex, balanced wine in the "New World" style, characterized by its full-bodied texture, finesse, and aromas of candied fruit. Well worth discovering!

Well-rounded with notes of black fruit: the Merlot expresses itself fully. With spicy (peppery) notes, the Tannat reminds us that we are playing on its home turf.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Alain Brumont develops his personality through a style that has made Madiran wines famous throughout the world under the Château Montus label, which he bought in 1980. Often bucking conventional wisdom, Brumont's vintages reflect his great freedom in interpreting terroirs with yellow and red clay subsoils, ranging from 20 to 40%. Tannat is featured in the château's three wines, Prestige, XL, Montus and La Tyre, and certainly delivers the most spectacular profile of this difficult-to-handle Pyrenean grape.
