Enjoy it on sheep's milk cheese, to replace the ancestral jam... On Roquefort cheese it's divine, on chocolate desserts, on all desserts with red fruit coulis. Alain Brumont's top tip: strawberries with Montus Vintage!

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Rated (2015 guide) 16.5/20 (Vintage 2010) (Very good)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domain rated (guide 2023) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Alain Brumont develops his personality through a style that takes wines from Madiran around the world under the label of Château Montus, which he bought in 1980. Brumont's cuvées often go against conventional wisdom, demonstrating his freedom in interpreting the terroirs' yellow and red clay subsoils, with gradients ranging from 20 to 40%. Tannat expresses itself in the château's three cuvées, Prestige, XL, Montus and La Tyre, and certainly delivers the most spectacular profile of this not-easy-to-handle Pyrenean grape.
