Tannat grape

Tannat

The Tannat grape is a bold and robust variety, deeply rooted in the vineyards of Southwest France, particularly in the Madiran region. It’s a full-bodied grape that has become a prominent variety in its native region

French Tannat tends to have stronger tannins and more pronounced red fruit notes, while Uruguayan Tannat is known for being softer on the palate with a focus on black fruit flavors

Primary flavors include plum, licorice, smoke, cardamom, and black currant, while dominant aromas are blackberries, leather, tobacco, and licorice

  • The Domaine Labranche Laffont Vieilles Vignes Madiran 2014 embodies the dedication and craftsmanship of its makers, presenting a wine that is both expressive and enduring.

    Very dark, deep and dense–this wine underlines the notion that Tannat is a study in density and the exact opposite of modern “spoofilated” wines.
