Vignobles Marie Maria

Madiran reds and Pacherenc whites from the Pyrenean foothills.

Vignobles Marie Maria operates in Madiran, the Pyrenées' most distinctive appellation, where Tannat thrives in clay-rich soils and demands serious cellaring. The winery's Bonificat and Novel Madirans blend Tannat with Cabernet Sauvignon, producing wines of structure and grip characteristic of the region's austere style. A departure into white territory, Lutz Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh draws on Gros and Petit Manseng—the local white grapes that yield honeyed, textured wines with natural acidity. Wine Spectator has rated across the portfolio. The winery's range reflects Madiran's dual identity: dark, age-worthy reds and aromatic whites from a corner of South West France that remains less fashionable than Bordeaux, yet equally serious about its terroir.
