Our history A family attached to its land

Since 1927, 4 generations of winegrowers have succeeded one another at Château Aydie.

Discover the main dates of our young history...

1927
laplace madiran 1927

Frédéric Laplace, owner and harvester at the Château d’Aydie.
It was he who truly established the vineyard, putting it at the forefront of the region’s mixed farming.

1941

A mistelle (wine fortified with brandy) came into being, with a Tannat base, a forerunner of Maydie. Frédéric tucked a few small casks away in the cellar, fortifying the grape juice with spirits. The result? A treat for the palate of exquisitely good taste, to rapidly become a little surprise served at the Château.

1952

Pierre Laplace succeeded to take his father’s place at the head of the operation; he continues assiduously with the plantations and management of the vineyard's lands.

1963

First commercialization of the estate’s own bottles. André Daguin, the famous Gascon chef happened to taste a sample… and fell in love. As a result, there was a first order: 4000 bottles.
This was an enormous step for the Laplace family… And the start of an adventure that has continued ever since.

1971

First Jean Luc, then his brothers assisted by Marie, work on technical definitions, seeking the best terroirs and developments in vinification, of especially the Tannat grape.

1975

First production of Tannat on the clayish-calcareous slopes of the Madiran region. The demonstration that a grape variety can express itself differently on a given soil, enriching blends while bringing strength, character but also balance and a refreshing nature.

1982

Acquisition of the Château, which becomes the estate’s showcase.

1985

Maydie comes into being

2002

First high-density planting of Tannat (over 8000 vines per hectare), for low yield per vine, for concentration and complexity.

2018

Switching to HVE (High Environmental Value)

“Imagine the wines of tomorrow! "Rich in their experience, the family works to sublimate the Tannat, by choosing more precise plots, winemaking qualities and ever more demanding blends. Make it current in its expression without denying any of its intrinsic qualities.

"Innovation" Listening to consumers is essential to meet their needs and each of their moments of consumption. Famille Laplace wines offer new experiences. Innovation also involves innovative packaging, a variety of cuvées produced on the 80 hectares of the estate with a sincere desire to satisfy epicureans, amateurs and gourmets from all over the world.
