Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine), Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
“Deep color, very well-balanced alcohol, robust tannins, seriously vinified for aging. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012).

About the estate:
Alain Brumont has forged his own distinctive style, sending wines from Madiran across the globe under the Château Montus label, which he acquired in 1980. Often bucking conventional wisdom, Brumont’s vintages showcase his great freedom in interpreting terroirs with yellow and red clay subsoils, varying 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 challenging Pyrenean grape.
