100% Tannat
The vines, partly more than 40 years old, are planted on clay-limestone soils and gravel clays, facing south.
They are conducted with the greatest respect for the terroir: cultivated soils, green manures autumn, natural grassing, leaf stripping after flowering, controlled yield, harvest ripeness.

Madiran in its most beautiful expression, it is a wine with a deep colour, nose complex, where scents of black fruits and liquorice nuances mingle. The palate is powerful and fleshy, with endless length, with notes of blackberries and roasting
The Madiran region is located in the Béarn, to the South-West of Bordeaux. Madiran wines are grown on clay and limestone hills along the left bank of the river Adour. Phillipe Mur, who was previously a wine-maker at Château d’Aydie (one of Madiran’s most famous), created Clos Basté in 1998 with 10 hectares of land, planting 5500 plants per hectare.
Phillipe leaves his wine to macerate for 5 weeks in small large tanks with a capacity of 40 hectolitres and his entire wine making technique follows that of a Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux.“Rising star Philippe Mur makes this entry-level wine (70% Tannat) for relatively early drinking.
The bouquet has an explosion of summer fruits – particularly blueberries as well as hints of autumn foliage. Intense on entry, nice structure but easy to drink with soft tannins.”
