Domaine Laffont Madiran

Southwest Region

Domaine Laffont Madiran Pierre Speyer moved to Madiran from his native Belgium in the early nineties. Buying a property in Maumusson (often referred to as the Napa Valley of Southwestern France), Pierre quickly became one of the region's sought after producers.

His Cuvée Erigone (named after a sultry beauty seduced by the Greek god Dionyius) is made with 80% Tannat and 20% Cabernet Franc and aged in percentage of new oak barriques. Its color is opaque. Aromas of black fruits, coconut, vanilla and coffee rise from the glass, while cassis, blackberry and spice weave their way across the palate. Plenty of flesh on the palate. The finish is long and structured, making it a perfect partner for roasted meats, game or leg of lamb.
