Rating: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine)
“A regular feature in the Guide for its magnificent Madiran wines from Château d’Aydie, the Laplace family presents here a wine dominated by Tannat, with an intense purple color. The exuberant bouquet blends very ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and pepper. The palate does not disappoint, with its fullness, rich fruitiness, roundness, silky tannins, and a long, fresh finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Review by Christina G. Posted on March 20, 2013

A very fruity wine, both on the nose and on the palate. Very pleasant. I loved it with duck breast with raspberries.
