Domaine Berthoumieu

Didier Barré’s 26–ha domain is well up to the generally high standards of the Madiran appelation. The Cuvee Tradition contains 55% Tannat, though you migh guess there is more by its substance and depth. The Cuvee Charles de Batz, with 90% Tannat is a typical Madiran powerhouse needing at leaste five years before it begins to open up. Its ample tannins are impressively fat and unctuous, rather than hard and dry. Barré has 3.5 ha of white varities for an old vine Pacherenc Sec and the sweet, lucious, oaked Symphonie d’automne.
