This Madiran captivates with its balance of power and finesse. The nose opens with generous aromas of dark fruit and sweet spices, with rich notes of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate, the structure is full-bodied, the tannins silky, and the perfectly balanced freshness creates a beautiful harmony. The long, savory finish makes it an ideal choice for special occasions and moments shared with others.

Rated Estate Award-winning Wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by 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 62-hectare estate, the family has established a wine trading business.
