Carte Noir 1982 Madiran
In much the same vein as fellow unpopular southwestern French native, Cot (aka Malbec), the grape Tannat has found a new home in South America. While Malbec has found favour in Argentina, Tannat has been adopted by the winemakers of Uruguay.
For the adventurous drinker, it is now bolder to delve into the wines of the home regions than the far-flung New World. This is one such bottle.
From its home region of Madiran in the southwest of France, this mature wine is Tannat dominant, possibly blended with small volumes of Cabernet Sauvignon and/or Cabernet Franc.
This bottle is in satisfactory condition: damage to or missing label/seal; cork/closure secure, no leakage.
We would recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please contact us for a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise lots will be sold as seen in the images.
Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
