2015 Chateau Montus Cuvee Prestige

Tasting notes:

Selected from their best plots, this 100% Tannat was produced for the first time in 1985. It performed very well against top French wines at tastings creating major waves in the wine world. Matured in 100% new barrels for 14 to 16 months, this is an atypical opulent and generous Madiran with ample volume and depth, alongside subtle and complex notes of blackcurrant, plum, balsamic, tar and cocoa.

Producer description:

Alain Brumont acquired both Château Bouscassé and Château Montus in 1980. The former is a collection of plots sitting on clay and limestone making sleek and refined Madiran. The latter is composed of large reddish pebbles making Madiran with opulence and voluptuousness.
