Sylvain Dabadie continues his father's winemaking advancements in southwest France by embracing biodiversity and environmental stewardship at Domaine Laougue. The 2020 'Les Passionnes' sums up these efforts beautifully, reflecting Madiran's robust, firmly structured character in which rich black fruit, licorice, and balsamic notes take on subtle smoke and tobacco hints. Saving 68% off this Tannat-based red justifies the decision to splurge on premium ribeye steaks, especially with free shipping on four bottles.

A rich wine with powerful tannins and black fruits, this is solid and dense. Acidity and a crisp edge of black-plum flavors contrast with the wine's firm structure and aging potential. Drink from 2025.
