Tannat has a reputation for being the most ferocious red grape in France, and this is the bottle that argues otherwise. The Laplace family, at Château d'Aydie in the heart of Madiran, has spent decades learning how to tame a thick-skinned, late-ripening variety — separate vinification of every plot, gentle extraction by racking and pumping over, macerations of ten to twenty days, and a dose of Cabernet blended in (70% Tannat, 30% Cabernet) for lift and elegance. The vines sit on clay-limestone, and only a fifth of the wine sees oak, the rest resting in tank for twelve months, so the fruit stays front and center rather than getting buried in wood. Madiran is a red-wine outpost in Gascony, a corner of southwest France far better known for Armagnac and its whites, which is part of why wines like this still fly well under the radar for what they deliver. The Laplaces come by their authority honestly: they descend from Frédéric Laplace, the first grower to bottle and sell Madiran under his own domaine name when the appellation was created in 1948.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Duck breast with a sweet-and-sour glaze, roast chicken with garlic, lamb merguez couscous, hard sheep's-milk cheeses, or a plate of jambon de Bayonne and saucisson.

Tasting Profile

Deep, bright red in the glass. Blackberry and dark cherry on the nose with violets and a little pepper and vanilla spice. Full-bodied but not heavy, with tannins that are firm yet smooth rather than gripping, and a fruity finish.
