Tiregand has long been the big name in Pécharmant. Although the estate fell behind, it seems now to have managed to use a traditional approach to create a impressive wines. This wood-aged wine, with its mint aromas and dense yet elegant tannins, is a good case in point. Wait for 5–6 years before drinking.

A big and dense wine, with tannins that are well integrated into its core of solid black plum and cherry flavors, and a bitter chocolate note that comes from wood aging. With all of its concentration, this wine should age for five years.

From the young vines of aristocratic Tiregand estate, this is still a densely tannic wine. It has smoky black fruits and intense acidity, a directly linear structure that needs to soften, although it will always be tannic.
