Appellation Madiran - AOC

Madiran: A Hidden Treasure of Southwest France

The Madiran Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), nestled in the picturesque wine region of Southwest France, is renowned for its robust and full-bodied red wines. Established for over a thousand years, this appellation owes its prestige to the Tannat grape variety, which predominantly comprises its wines, often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to soften and balance the flavour profile. The Madiran soils, primarily composed of clay and pebbles, provide the grapes with a unique richness and complexity.

Madiran wines captivate with their aromas of dark fruits, prunes, and spices and a tannic structure that promises excellent ageing potential, a feature highly appreciated by wine enthusiasts and cellar managers. Respectful winemaking methods, combined with the strict criteria of the AOC, ensure high-quality vintages, perfect for complementing a prestigious wine collection.

For oenophiles and cellar managers seeking authentic wines full of character, the AOC Madiran is a must-have. Specify and organise your Madiran bottles in your cellar management app to fully enjoy this exceptional appellation.
