The wine region of Gaillac
Millennia-old South-West mosaic (banks of the Tarn) with rare native grapes: Mauzac reigns in whites — dry, pearled or sweet with notes of apple, pear, honey and white flowers, signature freshness. Ample Loin-de-l'œil and Ondenc complement. Duras in spicy, peppery reds, fleshy Braucol (Fer Servadou) (blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry, structured tannins) and Syrah in blends. Iconic ancestral-method Gaillac sparkling.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
