Montus
Nath and I went to see Alain Brumont whose St. Bernard weighs 80+ kg and is named after the grape, Tannat, used to make Madiran wine. We bought more Montus 1999 (ready to drink) and 2001 (keep in the cellar a couple of years to let the tannins mellow). We also bought more Vendemiaire 2000, and a little vin de pays "Les Menhirs," which cannot bear the name Madiran as it's only 80% Tannat. Also tasted the 2002 Montus, but it's a bit out of my price range, and would be a shame to keep for 10 years in my cellar unless I close off the room where I keep the wine from the rest of the garage in a more permanent fashion.
