Château Montus
On the foothills of the Pyrenees in Madiran, Château Montus has defined a modern benchmark since 1980. Alain Brumont acquired the estate one year after taking over Bouscassé (1979) and proved that Tannat can speak with both authority and precision when treated parcel by parcel.
Vines cling to steep south to south‑west slopes covered with large rolled pebbles over red and yellow clays—a warm, free‑draining terroir built for late ripening and disciplined yields. Hand harvesting, rigorous sorting and extended macerations are matched with barrique ageing, calibrated to frame structure rather than mask origin.
The result is Madiran conceived for time: powerful, architectural and remarkably focused, driven by Tannat and a house philosophy that lets geology and altitude set the tempo of every vintage.Château Montus
