"The best wine from this historic estate is almost entirely with Tannat, which gives it a strong, dense structure. But the Tannat tannins are balanced by the bold, ripe concentration of black fruit. This wine is still in development and will probably be ready from 2022." (Wine Enthusiast)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Very well matured, spicy, straightforward and sincere, it remains a timeless classic. Ripe fruit accompanied by spices, menthol and licorice. Decant.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) 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 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.

Powerful, still a little rough, but should smooth out with age.
