"Bold and structured, this rich wine was bottled without sulfur. It has a lovely juicy texture and a beautiful framework of black fruits. These go hand in hand with the wine's dense structure, which promises considerable aging. Drink from 2026. (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
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.

About the wine:
Bold and structured, this rich wine was bottled without sulfur. It has a lovely juicy texture and a beautiful framework of black fruits. These go hand in hand with the wine's dense structure, which promises considerable ageing potential. Drink from 2026.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 01/11/2024
The best wine from the South West tasted at our October 2024 party. A beautiful nose of black fruit. The palate is full-bodied with a chocolate finish. I'd never drunk a non-wood-aged Tannat before, and I'm delighted with this one.
