Belgium Stoemp (Pureed or Mashed Potatoes or Vegetables) with Sausage, British Legs of Lamb with Mint Sauce
Tasting Tips
Really lovely bright cassis and dark berried fruit with developed cedar, smoky, tobacco and spicy notes blending in seamlessly with great balance and length - surprisingly structured with the tannins still quite prominent on the back end. This was the first year that Montus broke away to create a wine with Tannat majority. NB: Photo is of different vintage
Winery
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 percent, 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
