New vintage: the 2009 was rated: Gerbelle & Maurange 15.5/20
A subtle blend of the Southwest’s signature grape varieties—Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng—Torus Blanc Doux is crafted from the finest terroirs of the two jewels of the Brumont vineyards: Montus and Bouscassé. A sweet wine crafted to perfection, ideal with foie gras... A wine that gets right to the heart of the matter!

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 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.

Review by Mr. OLIVIER D. Posted on 12/29/2012

Originally from the Southwest, I was mostly familiar with wines from the Jurançon hillsides, as well as Sauternes wines. This Pacherenc de Vic-Bilh is absolutely wonderful!!!
