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. GILLES D. Published on 10/07/2022

Compared to the robust, rustic entry-level Madiran 2018, Les Noyers 2019 offers a much more beautiful expression of Tannat. Suave and powerful on the attack, the palate continues with rich, coiled tannins on notes of spice, cedar and roasting, ending on a persistent, minty, licorice finish. The only downside: a slight harshness that may or may not be appreciated. Score of 3.8 for the good R. Q/P. A pleasant accompaniment to a Gascon salad with a few seasonal purple figs and fresh raspberries.
