Alain Brumont - Gros Manseng (Doux) 2012
Sud Ouest
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
A deliciously aromatic Gros Manseng cuvée, with aromas of exotic fruit, preserved lemon and pineapple. Good acidity on the palate stretches the wine and gives it balance. A typically Gascon sweet, well-balanced between sugar and acidity, refreshing and thirst-quenching!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates 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.
