  • The Madiran appellation is situated on the clay-gravel soil foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The "Reserve des Tuguets" comes from a selection of the region's typical grape varieties : Tannat, which contributes fruit and richness, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc which add aromatic complexity.
  • Tasting Notes : A rich and full-bodied wine that displays notes of fresh black cherries, liquorice and spice. Hearty and firmly-structured, this wine is best enjoyed with foods such as hard cheeses or grilled red meat dishes.

Vinification Details

  • Each grape variety is harvested at optimal maturity and vinified separately. Following a 24-hour period of pre-fermentation skin contact, extraction takes place with pump-overs and punching down of the cap. Alcoholic fermentation temperatures are closely controlled at 26°C. The total period of skin contact never exceeds 20 days. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to take place naturally. The wines are then blended in proportions favouring the expression of fruit.

History

  • It is an ancient vineyard which was known for its wine as early as the 11th century during the era when the Abbey of Madiran was founded by Benedictine monks in 1030 and transformed thirty years later into a Priory. The golden age of Madiran was probably between the 16th and 18th centuries when François 1st referred to it “as a Seigneur's wine which ages extremely well” and Henry 4th served it to his most prestigious guests, be they French or foreign, in his chateau at Pau.

Regional Information

  • The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée of Madiran is situated in the foothills of the Pyrenean mountain range in Vic-Bilh (which means ‘the Old Country'), 40 km from Pau, in the medieval village of Madiran - from which the appellation takes its name. Relatively mild winters, hot, stormy summers and dry, sunny autumns are important factors in ensuring a good maturation.

Whining about wine? No, actual disappointment.

1 stars

Genuinely one of the worst wines I've bought at Tesco in a while, maybe forever. There is absolutely no depth to the flavour, the wine dries out your entire mouth, and just a few sips gave me indigestion. Will never buy again, deal or not.

Good value decent AOC French Red

5 stars

I buy this regularly - it is often on offer and is a good everyday quality red wine from France, not too acidic which suits me and quite fulll bodied - recommended

Flat

3 stars

I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's rather flat and lacking in flavour.
