“This wine is made from Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinenc and features notes of black and red fruits intermingled with smoky and minty undertones. On the palate, it is supple and aromatic, supported by velvety tannins and a hint of vanilla . A pleasant wine to enjoy now.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About the estate:

Founded around 1850, this family-owned estate has been passed down through six generations. Following in the footsteps of his father, Louis, Didier Barré, who took over in 1983, helped revitalize Madiran, becoming one of its leading advocates. In 2017, sisters Claire and Marion Bortolussi (daughters of Alain Bortolussi of Château Viella) took the reins of this flagship 25-hectare estate by forming a partnership with wine merchant Lionel Osmin to manage the vineyard and market the wines. The transition to organic farming began in 2020.
