Details and technical informations about Domaine Carcenac's Les Grèzes Gaillac.
Discover the grape variety: Villard
Simple whites or reds with a pale golden or deep ruby hue, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated fruity aromas with discreet hybrid notes. Disease-resistant. Now marginal, they survive in a few heritage plots in France and bear witness to the post-phylloxera hybridisations of the first half of the 20th century. Synonym for the Villard Blanc and Villard Noir varieties, French hybrids obtained by Bertille Seyve in Bourgoin-Jallieu.

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: Liquid
Sweet wine containing more than 50 grams of residual sugar per liter. Sweet wines are made from grapes often affected by botrytis cinerea and concentrated either by passerillage (drying of the grapes on the vine stock), or after the harvest (straw wines), or by the cold (ice wines).
