A majestic Madiran, with aromas of crisp and jammy dark fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry) accented by delicate spices. Its velvety texture and silky tannins offer an elegant, lingering finish. A generous and powerful wine that combines charm and character.

Rated estate (2027 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)
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 hill with Tannat alone! 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 technical management 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, while preserving the wines’ character and aging potential. Drawing on a vineyard in its prime (between 35 and 40 years old), he has redefined a modernized lineup. In just a few years, the results have been spectacular, and the third star—already widely anticipated last year—is a well-deserved recognition of a production that stands at the pinnacle not only of its appellation but of the entire region.
