"Intense aromas blending floral notes with hints of black fruit, blackcurrant, prune, and walnut, accompanied by subtle notes of oak and toast. Very dense and vigorous on the palate, offering floral flavors of black fruit, crème de cassis, and kirsch. Still young, but with exemplary tannins leading to a very long and powerful finish. A great wine, but even better after 2025." (Andreas Larsson)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The Laplace brothers courageously manage this large 65-hectare estate and a small adjoining wine business. They have successfully adapted the style of local wines to contemporary requirements, seeking greater balance and precision in their winemaking. They never lack imagination when it comes to creating wines of character at very reasonable prices.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Château d'Aydie is a family affair (and a safe bet): four Laplace children are now following in the footsteps of their grandfather Frédéric, who was one of the first to sell Madiran in bottles, with the help of André Daguin, the famous Gascon chef. The 62-hectare estate has been expanded to include a wine trading business.

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About wine:
Dense and close to maturity, this is a deeply ripe wine. Black fruits and dried stone fruit are about to soften into a generous, richly textured wine. This wine from the Laplace family estate is destined to age further. Drink from 2023 onwards.
