Through observation, experimentation, and a desire to enhance the terroir, Alain Brumont and his team produce the best expression of the Montus vineyards.

Appellation: Pacherenc du Vic Bilh

Region: Southwest France

Grape Varieties: Petit Courbu, Petit Manseng

Vineyard: The vines of Petit Courbu and Petit Manseng are 30 years old and planted individually on clay and limestone terraces with pebbles.

Winemaking: After a gentle pressing of the grapes, the juice ferments at a low temperature in barrels. The wine is then aged on lees in large barrels for 1 to 2 years, depending on the vintage.

Tasting Notes: Petit Courbu contributes softness, floral notes, and freshness, while Petit Manseng provides good structure, mineral notes, and richness. The oak character is well integrated and soft, allowing the wine to maintain its freshness and roundness on the palate.

Food Pairing: A three to four-year-old Montus wine pairs well with fish or white meat, while a six to fifteen-year-old Montus is excellent with foie gras or Thanksgiving turkey.
