Wine:

The 2017 Red Madiran is a very beautiful expression of tannat, the king grape of the appellation. Of beautiful intensity, it carries beautiful aromas of black fruits, ink and graphite, well installed in a pure palate that is firm but with very fine tannins. Maturity, aromatic purity, density, richness: everything comes together perfectly to form this bottle already ready to be served with a duck breast or a beef cheek with carrots.

Wine:

Another success by Laurent Martray! The 2016 Red Vieilles Vignes Côte de Brouilly is a sapid, joyful red, with a very fine texture, sailing pleasantly between aromas of morello cherry and small red fruits. This is a Gamay that will, with time, take on Burgundian accents, especially in this cool, tense vintage, which offers a pleasing prospect! Serve it slightly chilled, paired with veal or beef, or simply with a snack and some artisanal charcuterie. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.

Nice notes of morello cherry and red berries.
