Madiran Vieilles Vignes

Produced from very old vines (over 70 years old) and the selection of the best terroirs of the Château, a low yield of about 40 hl/ha, make this wine our flagship vintage. Total destemming. Long vatting with several complete delestages. Aged in new oak barrels for 12 months.

Soil : Clay-limestone Density : 4800 plants/ha

Deep and sustained garnet color. Fine, harmonious nose with aromas of roasting (coffee/chocolate), vanilla and prunes due to its ageing in oak barrels as well as small black fruits. Very nice attack on the palate, full-bodied, concentrated, fleshy, generous and fat. We find here, the very expression of a good balance between wine and wood followed by a beautiful length. - 3,5 stars, Le Guide du vin Phaneuf 2019, mill. 2015

Drink it at 17-18°C with roasts, cassoulet, red meats, dark sauces, cheeses and dark chocolate. It is the wine of guard par excellence.
