Brumont Château Montus 2018 is a classic, deeply concentrated red wine crafted by Alain Brumont, the pioneer who put Madiran on the map. A highly structured blend dominated by Tannat, it exhibits deep purple reflections in the glass. The complex nose reveals aromas of dark plums, ripe blackberries, baking spices, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is powerful and fleshy, with dense black fruit concentration supported by fine, firm tannins and clean acidity, leading to a long, persistent, and compact finish.
Food Pairing: Exceptionally suited for rich meat dishes such as duck confit with porcini mushrooms, slow-cooked wild boar stew, cassoulet, or roasted venison shank.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Known as the showcase estate of Madiran, Alain Brumont always produces impressive wines. This latest release is in the same mold. It is rich in tannins with dark black fruits and a massive structure that needs time. Drink this fine wine from 2025.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Exhibiting notions of spices, tobacco, blackberries, licorice and herbs, the 2018 Château Montus is medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by fine tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish. More intense and tense than the 2018 Bouscassé, it needs a couple of years in the bottle to chill out, but you can already see the potential. This is a blend of 80% Tannat, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc sourced from vines planted on pebbles and clay soils, matured 36 months in barrels, of which 40% are new.
92 Points - James Suckling
A firm, serious and well-structured blend of 80% tannat and 20% cabernet sauvignon. Notes of dark plums, blackberries, dried herbs and baking spices emerge on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins and fresh acidity. Plain and dense on the palate with more dark berry character and a touch of spices. Compact finish. Try from 2025.
