"Bold and structured, this rich wine was bottled without sulfur. It has a lovely juicy texture and a beautiful framework of black fruits. These go hand in hand with the wine's dense structure, which promises considerable aging. Drink from 2026. (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Founded around 1850, this family-run estate has seen six successive generations. Following in the footsteps of his father Louis, Didier Barré, who settled here in 1983, contributed to the revival of Madiran, of which he was one of the standard-bearers. In 2017, sisters Claire and Marion Bortolussi (daughters of Alain Bortolussi of Ch. Viella) took over the destiny of this flagship 25-hectare estate, forging a partnership with négociant Lionel Osmin to run the business and market the cuvées. Organic conversion has been underway since 2020.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 25/06/2025
The best wine from the South West tasted at our October 2024 party. A beautiful nose of black fruit. The palate is full-bodied with a chocolate finish. I'd never drunk a non-wood-aged Tannat before, and I'm delighted with this one. Second bottle tasted at a varietal evening in June 2025 gives the same appreciation, with a touch of sugar on the finish.
