"Intense aromas combining floral notes with hints of black fruit, blackcurrant, prune and walnut, with fine notes of wood and toast. Very dense, vigorous palate offering floral flavors of black fruit, crème de cassis and kirsch, still young but with exemplary tannins leading to a very long, muscular finish. A great wine, but even better after 2025. (Andreas Larsson)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The Laplace brothers courageously manage this large 65-hectare estate, as well as a small adjoining négoce. They have adapted the style of local wines to contemporary needs, seeking greater balance and precision in winemaking. They are never short of imagination, creating wines of character at very reasonable prices.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Château d'Aydie is a family affair (and a sure bet): four Laplace children are now following in the footsteps of their grandfather Frédéric, who was one of the first to sell bottled Madiran, with the help of André Daguin, the famous Gascon chef. The 62-hectare farm has now been joined by a trading structure.

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
Dense and close to maturity, this is a deeply ripe wine. Black fruit and dry core are about to soften into a generous, richly textured wine. This wine from the Laplace family estate is destined to age even longer. Drink from 2023.
