Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
La Tyre — Château Montus' summit cuvée, from Tannat on the highest, steepest terraces of the estate, picked late and given long new-oak aging. Alain Brumont built Madiran's modern reputation on wines like this: dense black fruit and cassis over graphite, cocoa and smoke, with the massive tannin Tannat is famous for, here polished rather than rustic. A wine that demands a decade and repays two.
