"The nose is very complex, inviting, very pure aromas of crushed fruit mingle with almond and cocoa notes, the palate is concentrated, structured as it should be, with well-extracted tannins, the still toasty breeding will melt away. Let it age. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2017)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
The nose is very complex and inviting, with pure aromas of crushed fruit mingling with almond and hints of cocoa. The palate is concentrated, structured as it should be, with well-extracted tannins. Age well.

About the domain :
Founded around 1850, this family-run estate has seen 6 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 wine merchant Lionel Osmin to manage the operation and market the cuvées.
