Description

Chateau Montus is the flagship domaine of the region's leading winemaker, Alain Brumont, who also owns Chateau Bouscasse as well as Meinjarre, La Rosée and La Tyre. These estates represent some of the greatest terroirs of Madiran, which are spread over more than twenty hills within the appellation. Chateau Montus has the more classic terroir of all the domaines, being sited on a gravel hillside, with an incline of 5-10%, in contrast to the heavier clay soils of Chateau Bouscasse.

Brumont purchased Montus in the 1980s, not long after his return from Bordeaux, and by the time the 1990 vintage had passed he was regularly hailed as one of the South West's greatest winemakers. In the vineyard major changes were implemented, starting with extensive replanting with a doubling of the vine density to 8000 plants/ha, with a mixture of tilled soil or a grass cover crop between the rows. Yields are low, certainly less than 40 hl/ha, sometimes less than 30, ensured by a green harvest. The vineyards are almost exclusively Tannat, with some Merlot, and some white varieties. The harvest sees a detailed sorting before fermentation, preceded by a cold soak of up to ten days to increase extraction. The cap sees automatic pigeage. A variety of oak is used, depending on the cuvée, including a little of American origin, although the majority is French. The wines see 100% new oak, with the super-cuvée XL residing in 400 litre barrels for up to three years. The wines undergo malolactic in barrel - there is no micro-oxygenation here, by the way - and are racked twice before bottling without filtration.

The Cuvée Prestige is a selection of up to 100% Tannat
