(2017 Vintage Notes)

This fresh, fruity white wine features subtle notes of citrus, exotic fruits, and acacia. The palate is fresh and full-bodied, with a beautiful balance of flavors. The estate’s signature style is evident in the harmonious blend of two qualities: the complexity and approachability of each cuvée.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated 2*Stars (2017 vintage) (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

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.

Review and opinion by Mr. BERTRAND C. Published on August 14, 2021

A deep golden-yellow color with rosy highlights. The nose offers notes of acacia flowers and quince. The attack is lively, and the palate is generous with great freshness. The finish is taut and long. A beautiful Pacherenc!
