Madiran is a wine region in South West France in Gascony. The wines there usually have the Tannat grape in the mix. Tannat is a rich, bold, and somewhat tannic grape that makes a wine that is perfect for a special occasion! This producer makes a wonderful wine, a 2017 Brumont Chateau Montus, often referred to as the Petrus of the South West.
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine!
