"the development of the madiran appellation owes much to the person of alain brumont, whose ambition and perseverance have made him an example of success for his peers. born into a family of owners - château bouscassé in the same appellation - alain brumont acquired montus in 1979, replanted the vineyard himself and produced his first vintages with basic equipment, attracting the ridicule of neighbouring producers. however, he was an immediate success, and soon began producing dry white wine under the pacherenc-du-vic-bilh appellation. today, he is also the owner of bouscassé, and works hard to maintain the reputation of his estates, whose wines are the delight of epicurean nectar lovers. on the 90 hectares dedicated to red wine at château montus, the soils and plants are cultivated using sustainable methods and the harvest is entirely manual. the wines are traditionally vinified in stainless steel vats, then matured for 14 months in new oak barrels (between 50% and 100% depending on the cuvée), for an exceptional density and smoothness. the château currently produces three red wines: château montus, montus xl and la tyre, the montus-prestige having been abandoned in 2004 in favour of a higher quality château montus. the development of the madiran appellation owes a great deal to alain brumont, whose ambition and perseverance are an example of success for his peers. born into a family of owners - château bouscassé in the same appellation - alain brumont acquired montus in 1979, replanted the vineyard himself and produced his first vintages with basic equipment, attracting the ridicule of neighbouring producers. however, he was an immediate success, and soon began producing dry white wine under the pacherenc-du-vic-bilh appellation. today, he is also the owner of bouscassé, and works hard to maintain the reputation of his estates, whose wines are the delight of epicurean nectar lovers. on the 90 hectares dedicated to red wine at château montus, the soils and plants are cultivated using sustainable methods and the harvest is entirely manual. the wines are traditionally vinified in stainless steel vats, then matured for 14 months in new oak barrels (between 50% and 100% depending on the cuvée), for an exceptional density and smoothness. the château currently produces three red wines: château montus, montus xl and la tyre, the montus-prestige having been abandoned in 2004 in favour of a higher quality château montus.
