"Donibane" - Irouléguy 2016
Located in the heart of the Basque Country on the southern slopes of the Western Pyrenees, the Irouléguy vineyard is considered, with its 250 ha, as one of the smallest mountain vineyards in France: 2/3 of the surface area is planted on terraces, on a slope, which imposes the tradition of manual work.
This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Tannat (40%). The nose offers aromas of black fruits such as blueberry or black currant. The wine is full-bodied, with length, a beautiful aromatic persistence and a good aptitude for aging.
At the beginning, companions in love with the wines of the South-West decided to share their passion... They soon had an idea, a tenuous one, to do what no one had ever done, to create a quality wine merchant's house on the theme of the wines of the South-West, following the example of other regions such as Burgundy, the Rhone... Under the impulse of Lionel Osmin, "Lionel Osmin et Cie" was born, to carry loudly and clearly the discovery of the grape varieties and unique terroirs of this region: Jurançon, Cahors, Gaillac, Bergerac, and even Marcillac.
