2016 | Château Peyros | Madiran

Chateau Peyros Madiran is of ruby colors and garnet reflection. In the glass, it opens with an intense nose of red berries, spices and vanilla. The mouth is round, well structured with supple tannin.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: The Cabernet Franc softens the Tannat's tannins in this full-bodied wine. There is a definite structure, but it fits snugly into the black fruits and ripe acidity. This rich wine is ready to drink.

Producer Information

Chateau Peyros is the property located the furthest south in the Madiran appellation. It dates from the 17th century and was acquired by Jean Jacques Lesgourgues in 1999. The Lesgourgues family strives to produce high quality wines. Peyros means "stony place" in Gascon, a good definition for the exceptional land the vines grow on: derived from Pyrenean moraines, the clay-loam soil is densely packed with rolled pebbles from the glaciers. The vines are cultivated using sustainable growing techniques. The organic contribution is natural, exclusively made up of manure from a herd of 300 sheep that amble around the vineyard from October to April. The fermentation room was built in the early 80s under the guidance of Emile Peynaud, oenologist and one of the founders of traceability. In 2000, the fermentation room was equipped with a micro-oxygenation system. Malolactic fermentation in barrels is practiced on the third of the wines (those housed in new barrels) to give body and soften the tannins. Chateau Peyros Castle has an impressive record and is mentioned in all the best guides.
