Genesis Wines

Frédéric Laplace was recognised as one of the pioneer winemakers. He was first to bottle Madiran wines and to sell them under his own name when the appellation was created in 1948. Frédéric’s son Pierre Laplace together with his 4 children are now amongst the most dynamic and influential in Madiran. The last decade was decisive for the estate which covers about 70 hectares: restructuration of the vineyard (choosing high density) and optimisation of extracting and aging methods. The wines have harmony, a wonderful balance between fruit and the firmness of tannins.
