Without doubt, the leading estate in Madiran for the last 20 years, owner, Alain Brumont has done an enormous amount for the appellation. He set the example by reducing yields, increasing significantly the density of vines per hectare, using only the best available grafts, harvesting perfectly ripe grapes and oak-ageing most of his wine.
Today, Brumont is still bursting with fresh ideas and is constantly working in improving his wines, from the very well-priced vins de Pays range to the magnificent La Tyre.
"100% Petit Corbu grapes, fermented and aged on its fine lees in new oak barrels. The wine has a lovely straw yellow colour, the nose is buttery, with mushroom and toasty hints. Well balanced, complex, with a toasty nutty richness and with an excellent length of great finesse. Wine of excellent ageing potential."
