Structured, spicy reds with a sustained ruby robe, firm tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of dark fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), black pepper, spice, liquorice and balsamic notes. Dense palate, good ageing potential. Star of Gaillac AOC on the Tarn terraces (minimum 40% in reds, blended with Braucol and Syrah). Also in IGP Côtes du Tarn. Autochthonous variety of the French South-West, unrelated to the town of Duras (Lot-et-Garonne).
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
