In the mouth
Silky, well-integrated tannins provide the wine's structure without dominating the palate. A precise and refined oak élevage complements the fruit, whilst the finish shows good length and composure. This is a wine of substance with genuine finesse.
On the nose
An elegant and complex bouquet unfolds gradually, revealing fine dark fruit aromas interwoven with subtle spice and mineral notes. The nose demonstrates the restraint and refinement characteristic of well-made Madiran.
On the eye
Deep ruby red with an inviting, lustrous appearance
Breeding
40 months
Madiran's power finds its finest expression when paired with game—venison, wild boar, or duck—where the wine's structure and depth complement the richness of the meat. The 2018 vintage, with its silky tannins and elegant complexity, is particularly well-suited to such pairings. A wine that rewards patience and proper decanting, it will develop further over the coming years.

CHATEAU D'AYDIE
At the foot of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Château d'Aydie farms 58 hectares on the sun-drenched slopes of Aydie, at the heart of one of the South-West's most distinctive appellations, Madiran. Founded in 1927 by Frédéric Laplace and still in family hands, the estate has made Tannat its calling card: dense, structured reds built for the cellar, alongside whites drawn from Petit and Gros Manseng. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the integrity of its HVE-certified vineyard, the diversity of its soils — argilo-calcaires, gravelly terraces and boulbènes — and the remarkable consistency of its wines across vintages. A reliable reference for anyone who wants the true character of the South-West, without compromise.
