These consist of small plots of fine clay soil on the edge of Maumusson-Laguian's old cliff that produce a distinguished, elegant, sleek wine, with a very good potential to age.

Tasting Note

The Tannat has a direct, fine, intelligent structure. The aromas are delicate with subtle hints of wood, cigar and mocha. Vieilles Vignes is the perfect accompaniment to two French favorites: duck breast and rib of beef; it also goes well with game, lamb, chocolate desserts and red fruit.
