South-West of France Château Montus

Our committee's review

Château Montus is in a league of its own, and its wines have become legendary. While Alain Brumont transformed Madiran and elevated his estate to the highest level, it is now his son-in-law, Antoine Veiry, who carries the torch for these iconic creations.

With the same pursuit of perfection, he follows in his mentor’s footsteps while bringing his own touch—introducing more nuanced ageing, refining every detail, and constantly exploring new techniques. His expertise extends to the careful selection of coopers, barrel shape, and volume, all handled with precision. His ultimate goal: extended maturation that enhances each cuvée and ensures its longevity.

Today, his wines reflect the energy of their terroir—still monumental in stature, with remarkable precision and complexity. More refined and complete than ever, they deliver an astonishingly vivid texture and intensely expressive fruit flavours at the highest level.

Crafted from pure Tannat and shaped by meticulous aging in foudres and barrels, the 2019 Red Château Montus Madiran fully embodies the success of its vintage. Aromas of black fruits, graphite, licorice, and spice set the tone for this dense, concentrated wine that remains youthful and full of promise. Its broad, sapid texture and remarkable structure make it a wine that rewards patience. Decant it before serving to fully enjoy its depth, and pair it with dishes like slow-cooked lamb shoulder or hare stew for an unforgettable experience.

Château Montus is one of the world’s great wines—a true icon. No serious cellar should be without it, and the 2019 vintage is a standout.
