The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Château Montus is completely unique.  In the space of forty years, Alain Brumont has completely revolutionized the Madiran appellation, raising his estate to the top of the French winemaking world. Born on these lands, the winemaker knows them by heart and his vision and sense of perfection have forced him to push his limits further and further, outperforming his peers.


Uncompromising, perfectionist, visionary, Alain Brumont creates timeless, long-lasting wines that have nothing to envy the most prized Bordeaux crus... The wines are monumental, of obvious mastery and complexity, and delivered with incredible strength and elegance.
Wine 100% Tannat, the 2018 red Madiran from Château Montus has a beautiful freshness sourced from its particular vintage, with very pure notes of black fruits, graphite, licorice and spices. Dense and concentrated, still in the austerity of its youth, it unfolds an rich and serene palate, of great consistency; it is a wine that needs more time and that will need to be decanted before serving it on a shoulder of lamb confit or a jugged hare. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.
