Alain Brumont - Torus 2013 (Doux)
Sud Ouest
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
A subtle alchemy blending the typical grape varieties of the South-West, Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng, Torus blanc doux comes from the best terroirs of the two pearls of the Brumont vineyards: Montus and Bouscassé. A sweet wine with an open nose of exotic scents (pineapple, lychee...) and a fresh, well-balanced palate thanks to the liveliness of the two grape varieties, it's a gourmet delight!

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.
