Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Estive is a Tannat from Vignobles de Pyrénaïa near Pau, a négoce-style house founded by Simon Forgue, formerly master blender for Alain Brumont (Château Montus). It is bottled as Vin de France. Black fruit, pepper and liquorice over dense but well-enveloped tannins. Rich and powerful, yet kept lively by the fresh acidity typical of the Pyrenean foothills. A structured red with serious ageing potential.
