“Intense aromas blending floral notes with hints of black fruit, blackcurrant, prune, and walnut, along with subtle hints of oak and toast. The palate is very dense and vigorous, offering floral flavors of black fruit, blackcurrant liqueur, and kirsch; still young but with exemplary tannins leading to a very long and robust finish. A great wine, but it will be even better after 2025.” (Andreas Larsson)

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Laplace brothers manage this large 65-hectare estate—along with a small adjoining wine merchant business—with great dedication. They have successfully adapted the style of local wines to contemporary demands, seeking greater balance and precision in the winemaking process. They never lack imagination when it comes to creating wines with character at very reasonable prices.

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Château d'Aydie is a family business (and a sure bet): four of the Laplace children are now following in the footsteps of their grandfather Frédéric, who was one of the first to sell Madiran by the bottle, with the help of André Daguin, the famous Gascon chef. In addition to the vineyard, which covers 62 hectares, the family has established a wine trading business.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

Dense and nearing maturity, this is a deeply ripe wine. The dark fruit and dry stone notes are on the verge of softening into a generous, richly textured wine. This wine from the Laplace family estate is destined to age further. Best enjoyed starting in 2023.
