The Madiran Rouge Tradition from Domaine Labranche Laffont is an excellent example of the richness that wines from the Madiran region can offer. This wine, predominantly made with Tannat grapes, is known for its vigorous character and pronounced tannic structure. A small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon completes the blend, adding further aromatic complexity.

On the nose, the Madiran Rouge Tradition reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, hints of wet earth, and dark spices typical of oak aging. On the palate, the wine is robust, with a dense tannic texture that promises excellent aging potential. Notes of black fruit blend with shades of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla, owing to the elegant maturation in barriques.

Perfect to serve with rich meat dishes such as stews or roasts, the Madiran Rouge Tradition from Domaine Labranche Laffont stands as an ideal choice for lovers of full-bodied and intensely flavored wines. Its ability to evolve elegantly over time also makes it an excellent addition to any collector's cellar.


The winery

Domaine Labranche Laffont – Winery in Occitanie (Gers)

Discover the story and wines of Domaine Labranche Laffont.

A winery in the Gers (south‑west France) producing Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic‑Bilh, led by Christine Dupuy, with organic practices and low‑intervention winemaking.
Region: Occitanie (Gers)
Country: France
Grapes: Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng
Christine Dupuy has run the domaine since 1993 and was among the first women winemakers of the appellation. Conversion to organic viticulture and certification. Features one of the few pre‑phylloxera Tannat parcels, vinified separately in great vintages. Production both in the Madiran area and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, with low-intervention cuvées such as "TAN NAT", a 100% Tannat cuvée with no added sulfites.
Winery history
Family-owned estate located in Maumusson‑Laguian. Christine Dupuy took over the estate in the early 1990s and developed it from the few hectares she inherited; over the years she has focused on quality, enhancing parcels of old vines and gradually converting the estate to organic viticulture.
Production philosophy
Organic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking: parcel-by-parcel work, hand harvesting, frequent use of indigenous yeasts, gentle pressing and practices aimed at preserving the fullest expression of the terroir with as few interventions as possible.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Maumusson area, at the foot of the Pyrenees. Clay and pebble/gravel soils. The area is characterized by well-exposed plots that provide structure and ripening potential, with some very old vines that contribute to the wines' depth.
