Madiran wines are renowned for their powerful, full-bodied and complex character. Here are some general characteristics of Madiran wines.
Madiran wines are renowned for their powerful, full-bodied and complex character.
Madiran wines are made mainly from the Tannat grape, which is a red grape variety native to the southwest region of France. Tannat gives Madiran wines their robust tannic structure, as well as their dark color.
Madiran wines are often described as powerfully tannic. Tannins are present in Madiran wines because of the Tannat grape, which has a thick skin and pips, leading to a high extraction of tannins during vinification. Tannins can give Madiran wines a firm structure, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and potentially long aging capacity.
Madiran wines generally offer complex, intense aromas, with notes of black fruits such as blackberry, black cherry and plum, as well as hints of spice, leather, tobacco and cocoa. With time, Madiran wines can develop more complex aromas and evolve towards notes of undergrowth, truffle and aged leather.
Madiran wines are gradually undergoing their revolution: more fruit and suppleness, less structure, as at domaine Labranche-Laffond or Clos des Mets d'âme

Camy 2020 du domaine de Laougué is a Madiran with great substance. This elegant wine develops on notes of very ripe red fruit (blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry) typical of tannat. Silky, smooth tannins on the palate. Spicy, toasty and finely woody notes on the finish. A fine introduction to this appellation.

We fell under the spell of this Marty cuvée from the domaine de Laougué. The nose develops notes of ripe stewed fruit, cherry, plum, nuanced by remarkably well-balanced spicy notes. The palate is full-bodied and well-coated, lined with lovely ripe fruit and silky, mellow tannins. The roasted notes brought on by barrel ageing blend harmoniously with the red fruit notes. Superb!Close
