Château d’Aydie

AOP Madiran

Deep and intense ruby red in appearance. Fine, elegant and complex on the nose, intertwining notes of black fruit with hints of coffee.
A very rich attack transitioning into a refined, mature texture with silky tannins. Subtle, precise woody nuances. An extraordinary Madiran, powerful and complex, with exceptional potential. This wine is capable of aging gracefully for another 7 to 10 years.

• 100% Tannat
