Intensity
Négrette and Syrah take on a velvety and generous style thanks to the low yields harvested.
More infoMontus XL is one of Alain Brumont’s finest cuvées. As its name suggests, this wine is out of the ordinary. Here, the Tannat grape takes on one of its most concentrated expressions for Madiran and is very similar to a top-class Ribera del Duero from Spain. The nose suggests blackcurrant, prunes and black olives. The palate is full and very rich but perfectly balanced, while the finish develops into chocolate-flavoured aromas.
