Montus Pacherenc du Vic Bilh Sec Blanc 2020 750ml

Preserved lemons, bruised apples, cedar, olives and salted almonds on the nose of this savory white. It’s full-bodied but sharp and lively, with a salty undertone. Firm finish. 100% petit courbu. Drink now or hold for even more complexity.

All Petit Courbu from clay and limestone soils, the 2020 Château Montus Blanc sports a medium gold hue as well as a still lively nose of exotic stone fruits, honeyed orange, brioche, nectarine, and chalky minerality. It's rich, medium-bodied, round, and layered on the palate, with integrated acidity and a beautiful finish. This classy, balanced, serious white is geared for the dinner table and is drinking beautifully today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't hold nicely through 2032. Drink 2026-2032.

Intense and rich, this dry wine is filled with a ripe orange-peel aroma and spicy white-fruit flavors. Made from the Petit Courbu, one of the rarer varieties of the region, the wine exudes concentration balanced with final acidity. Drink now.

The Petit Courbu brings silkiness, body and a mellow texture, accompanied by floral notes, fruitiness and an iodized freshness. The Petit Manseng brings minerality, a richness of the constituents, and rigor and order to the aromas. The woodiness is subtle and well integrated, to "leave room" for the wine. Length, freshness and volume on the palate. Serve with fish (sea bass, turbot), white meat, or caviar.
