In a few words ...

Highlighting the exceptional diversity of Madiran soils, Menhir is the result of a perfect match between great terroirs and grape varieties. When Alain Brumont came across a parcel of grey clay, mostly found in Pomerol, he decided to plant Merlot and combine it with Tannat. The result is a wine with discreet tannins that marries the exuberance of the fruit and the depth of the Tannat with the elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignon. depth of Tannat with the velvety structure of Merlot.

At first, I only bought one bottle, as I was a little worried that this wine had aged badly. On the contrary, it's a marvel of roundness and length. It's gone beyond a terroir wine. It's a great wine, and I'll treasure the 6 bottles I bought back.

It's the perfect accompaniment to a wide range of festive and everyday dishes. Elegant and pleasant at the same time.

Magnificent estate and a 14-year-old wine with good ageing potential. I recommend it with my eyes closed.

We really liked this full-bodied wine, with beautiful aromas of ripe red and black fruit. The notes of evolution are excellent.

Perfect for drinking this summer with grilled meat: the notes of leather and undergrowth on the nose carry through to the palate, and are delicious.

A perfectly ripe wine, with restrained power and lots of silkiness. The fruit is always present, a delight!
