3.6/5 (5 customers)

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 Brumont’s two jewels: Montus and Bouscassé. A sweet wine with an open, inviting nose featuring exotic aromas (pineapple, lychee...) and a fresh, balanced palate thanks to the liveliness of the two grape varieties— truly a delight!

About the estate:

Alain Brumont has forged his own identity through a style that has sent wines from Madiran around the world under the Château Montus label, which he acquired in 1980. Often defying conventional wisdom, Brumont’s wines reflect his great freedom in interpreting terroirs with yellow and red clay subsoils, which vary in composition from 20 to 40 percent. Tannat is featured in the château’s three cuvées—Prestige, XL, Montus, and La Tyre—and undoubtedly delivers the most spectacular profile of this Pyrenean grape, which is not easy to work with.
