"A deep, youthful color for this Madiran, with a powerful yet subtle nose of candied or macerated black fruit, licorice and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fleshy and suave, supported by ripe, flavorful tannins and beautiful fruit. A generous, gourmand and flattering style ".

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Founded in 1902 by Hubert Dousseau, the estate is now run by two sisters with very complementary characters: Corinne, in charge of the vines and the winery, and Brigitte, in charge of administration (and ducks, for which she makes excellent preparations). As the estate has grown over the years, and now covers 23 hectares, the winery has followed suit, consisting today of a series of rooms, but equipped with modern facilities. The proof: in 2019, they should be awarded the HVE3 label.

About the domain :
In 1902, Hubert Dousseau acquired the estate. Since 1995, Brigitte and Corinne, his great-granddaughters, have managed a 22-hectare vineyard. They have converted a small Gascon house in the heart of the vineyards into a gîte, and offer not only wine, but also foies gras, confits and duck breasts.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 11/03/2020
Drunk in 11/19. Too modern a Madiran for my taste. The suppleness of the Cabernet attenuates the specificity of the Tannat. A wine without personality. Same observation in 03/20.

Deserves to be opened a good hour before serving. Deep but restrained on the palate. Excellent with roast chicken.

entry-level wine, which didn't convince me. It's better to take it up a notch.

A very good Madiran, appropriately tannic, fruity and well-structured.

Wine with character, should come into its own with another 3 to 4 years.

Bof bof, a little light and a real lack of depth

Note and review by M. PATRICK M. Published on 12/05/2018
not very present on the nose, but well perfumed on the palate with a sooty aroma and the typical character of the tannat, well present in terms of volume and texture, but of average length.
