Description

From the Gascon word for “poplars”, the Lous Pibous estate was named after the trees at the bottom of the vineyard slope.

Tasting note

Nose

Rich and complex. With notes of prune, dried apricot, candied orange, beeswax, new oak and saffron, the first nose is exceptionally fine. It evolves on salted butter caramel and heady flowers (peony, hyacinth). With freshness, its balsamic (cedar) and medicinal (balsam) character gradually takes shape.

Palate

Concentrated, racy. The attack on the palate is airy and floral (lilac, lily of the valley). Noble spices (cardamom, nutmeg) quickly take over. The mid-palate is strongly marked by concrete iris and fresh ginger. The same flowers make a second appearance. Gradually, different honeys coat the taste buds without ever weighing down the mouth. Gorgeous.

Overall

Long, accomplished. Finely chocolaty, it is also rancid (cherry brandy, apricot liqueur). It evokes the harvesters’ baskets filled with golden bunches of the folle blanche grape variety. Retro olfaction oscillates between prune, vanilla and dark chocolate. The empty glass is roasted (tobacco, coffee).
