The Ugly Duckling

French wine | White | NM

The Laplace Family’s wines are meticulously crafted from harvest to bottling. This wine is made from 90% Gros Manseng (and 10% Petit Manseng), grown on clay soil with large pebbles, and undergoes careful vinification with low-temperature fermentation. The style is both round and vibrant, with a subtle acidity that provides a beautiful structure and a pleasantly lingering finish.

Our take on this vintage

Bright, golden color. The nose is open and rich, with notes of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, a hint of passion fruit, and a subtle smoky note. On the palate, the wine strikes a beautiful balance between roundness and freshness, supported by well-integrated acidity. The tropical fruit flavors return, with a touch of candied orange on the finish, which lingers with finesse.

Tannat rarely expresses itself with such mastery as it does at Laplace in Madiran. Extraction is controlled, and the wine is dense yet never overwhelming. The more approachable vintages offer a gentle interpretation of the grape variety. The more ambitious ones display remarkable length. In a nutshell: structure and clarity.
