This red blend of 90% Tannat and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from fifty-year old vines in the region of Madiran in Southwest France. With a nose of black currant, blackberry, and a hint of red fruit, this wine overcomes its tannic reputation with immense, ripe fruitiness and a creamy, almost cedar-like finish from the oak. The perfect companion for roasted meats and game.
“The top wine from this historic estate is almost entirely Tannat, which gives a strong, dense structure. But the Tannat’s tannins are balanced by the bold, ripe concentration of dark fruits. This wine is still developing and will likely be ready from 2022.” Wine Enthusiast 93 Points
