Brilliant dark garnet color. Nose of black fruits, blackberry jam, licorice. Supple and silky attack, ample palate, with elegant tannins, where flavors of ripe fruits, sweet spices and slightly vanilla notes are expressed. Balanced finish, very fresh. 

This organic Madiran is a blend, dominated by the local Tannat variety, but also containing some Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. All three varieties are fermented separately, undergoing light pumping overs for gentle extractions. This is to obtain a balanced level of tannins for structure. There is no oak age in this wine, it is just aged in concrete for light oxygen exposure.

In our small and old country (the literal meaning of Vic-Bilh), we are determined and stubborn to produce great wines. With the Pyrenees as our horizon, our large invested family has the vine in its guts. Living from our land, making our country live, is a living testament that our elders have passed on to us. Here, on the borders of Gers, Béarn and Gascony, this is ultimately what sets us apart: a family story.
