Chateau Montus : Prestige 2015

A rich and opulent Madiran 

The Madiran Prestige from Chateau Montus is a red wine produced from 100% Tannat in the Madiran appellation. The vines, on average 30 years old, are harvested in crates and planted on steep slopes. The slopes are covered with pebbles and a sub-soil of brown and orange clay. Wine is aged in new barrels for 14-16 months.

This wine has an atypical character and shows generosity and depth. The nose develops discrete and complex aromas of fruit. In the mouth, opulence and richness are quite present. In certain years, you can notice hints of balsamic, chimney soot, or cocoa.
