The wine is known for its full-bodied and tannic structure, making it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes. Château Montus Madiran is a true representation of the terroir and winemaking expertise of the region.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, with a hint of spice, are complex and inviting on the nose of this Château Montus Madiran.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a supple texture and a long, lingering finish. The tannins are well-integrated, and provide a good balance between acidity and fruit. This is an excellent example of Madiran, with a wonderful expression of the terroir.
