Ripe Black Fruit, Spicy, Punchy

Gascony / Red / Tannat / Sustainable

This cuvée of pure Tannat is vinified in wooden vats, with pigeage, before undergoing malolactic fermentation on its lees in new barrels. The wine is then matured in new barrels, for 14 to 16 months. This is big yet elegant! What a wine.

 Notes on the producer

Gascony, lying between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees Mountains, is home to vineyards with real character, just like the men who cultivate them. Alain Brumont is the leader here. He was a pioneer in Madiran and Côtes de Gascogne wines, bringing them to rank with the world’s best. The Brumont wines benefit now from an international recognition and remain at a very good value for money. An amazing French success story.

Alain Brumont took over the little family wine estate, Château Bouscassé, in 1979, then purchased Château Montus to create the wine of his dreams, “his” wine. Inventive, a tireless builder, and possessing a good bit of sheer nerve, he had constructed his first underground cellars at Bouscassé in 1988, then the new Château Montus cellars in 1995. By 2003, the chateau had been renovated to receive seminars and special events. In 1990 he discovered the ideal stretch of land that would become a world-renowned icon
