The wines of this appellation

AC Madiran is a red wine only appellation where the primary varietal is Tannat. With their dense, extremely deep garnet-red colour, Madiran wines are rich in tannins, powerful, robust and well-constituted. They have an outstanding capacity to age though as young wines they can be harsh, particularly when Tannat is the mainstay of the blend. Principal aromas are black fruit, roasted coffee and spices. Food pairings include duck confit or breast, meat served with a sauce, lamb and ewe milk cheeses.
