Château D'Aydie
Odé d'Aydie Blanc 2023
Pacherenc Du Vic-Bilh | Blanc | 2023
Grown on 15- to 20-year-old vines planted on southwestern-facing slopes of clay-gravel soil and rounded pebbles, the grapes are harvested before dawn to preserve their full aromatic freshness. After slow and gentle pressing, the juices ferment at low temperatures and are then aged on fine lees. Part of the cuvée spends six months in oak barrels with regular stirring (bâtonnage), while the rest is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s full vibrancy. This dry Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh reveals a beautiful balance between richness, freshness, and aromatic intensity. Serve between 10 and 12°C as an aperitif, with seafood, fish, ceviche, Asian cuisine, veal blanquette, or raclette.

Our Review of the Cuvée
A deep yellow color with silvery highlights. The nose is expressive and complex, blending aromas of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, and passion fruit. On the palate, it captivates with a full-bodied, rich attack, quickly balanced by a lovely freshness. An aromatic, elegant, and well-structured dry white wine, whose lingering finish confirms all the character of the great Pacherencs du Vic-Bilh. It pairs equally well with a refined aperitif, seafood, Asian dishes, ceviche, or even a veal blanquette.

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.
