Château Montus Madiran, 2016

Château Montus Madiran, 2016

Regular price $40.00

This wine is made from 80% Tannat, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a deeply rich wine, with soft dark berry fruit jamminess and well-integrated tannins. A good balance of elegance and power. The grapes grow on steep pebbly slopes, off of which the sun reflects nicely, contributing to the ripeness of two fuller grape varieties. Give it a good decant, and pair it with roasted lamb chops or ground lamb burgers.

Details

In 1980, Alain Brumont acquired Château Montus.

On this terroir made up of large round pebbles, situated in the finest Madiran Crus, he replanted the Tannat, which was venerated in the 18th century, when no one really believed any longer in this grape variety considered too rustic because of its too great a yield, and which, once diluted, only produced astringency and bitterness.

In 1985, a great terroir was detected where the Tannat was very different from the others and was given the name Cuvée Prestige. This cuvée allowed Château Montus to elevate itself among the great wines. Montus Prestige, the first Madiran made from 100% Tannat, is entirely aged in new oak barrels.

At the time, there was a revolution that all the famous wine tasters throughout the world nicknamed Petrus de Madiran.

Since 2000, the goal has been to bring Montus to a higher level: sustainable agriculture.

Fermentation is done in a wooden tank and aging in oak barrels. Harvest is made manually.
