Alain Brumont's 2018 Rouge is a fruit-forward wine, with notes of red and black berries on the nose, accompanied by hints of fruit compote and black pepper. Full-bodied and round, the palate is supple and refreshing. An easy-drinking, enjoyable wine, full of freshness for a Madiran... A must-try, perhaps with a nice grilled dish!

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
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 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 challenging Pyrenean grape.
