Note : Gault Millau 15,5/20
"A rare power, without any excessive heat, all volume and velvety. A very dense liqueur wine, highly qualitative in its concentration and length on coffee, prune, fig, tobacco, spices.... " (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). A fine, concentrated wine, a very fine bottle!

Expert opinion
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.

it's an excellent discovery of the site. It's magical to think that the tannat grape can produce such a smooth, suave wine !!!!
