Chateau Montus - Pacherenc Du Vic-Bilh Sec 2015
Château Montus is located in Castenau-Rivière-Basse, in the Madiran appellation in the South-West . Alain Brumont bought Château Montus in 1980. He produced his first vintage of Montus in 1982, and the first vintage of Cuvée Prestige in 1985, but at the time, the wines did not correspond to the standards of AOC laws because the vines were too young. Château Montus benefits from a great terroir, unique in the South-West, with a steep slope with large pebbles on fine clays from the Pyrenees. Montus has been nicknamed " the Pétrus of the South-West " by a dozen critics for 30 years.
The dry Montus Blanc is made from Petit Courbu , whose vine age is around 30 years. The grapes are pressed slowly, for 5 hours, cold. The aging lasts from 1 to 2 years, on fine lees , in 600 liter barrels .
Grape variety: 100% Petit Courbu
