The estate : There is no need to introduce Alain Brumont ! An iconic figure of the Madiran appellation, he has managed in 40 years to elevate his estates to the top of the South-West region and highlight the incredible potential of the local Tannat grape variety.

It all began in 1979 when he inherited the family's 17 hectares of Château Bouscassé. Then, in the early 1980s, he acquired Château Montus and met Baron Philippe de Rothschild at Château Mouton-Rothschild (Grand Cru Classé of the Pauillac AOC) : this was the turning point. Particularly inspired by their exchanges, he now openly displays his vision of producing great wines in Madiran, an appellation then mainly known for its rustic wines.

The first vintage of Château Montus in 1982 caused a sensation : the press praised the work accomplished while the French and international markets discovered a noble, powerful wine with definite aging potential. Since then, the man has never stopped searching for and selecting the best terroirs of his native region. Today, heading 250 hectares, the Brumont Vineyards continue to be an absolute reference throughout the South-West and Alain, although still involved, has now handed over the reins of the estate to his son-in-law Antoine Veiry.
