Rating: Gerbelle & Maurange 14/20
“With its subtle toasted aromas, one might think this cuvée is aged in oak. But that’s not the case: it’s aged in tanks. In this vintage, this is a wine that’s already very well-integrated, with subtle spicy notes on the finish. It’s ready to drink now. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines Under €20 2013 - Gerbelle & Maurange)

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.

Lovely red fruit notes right from the first sip, but a bit too tart for my taste... JJW
