• Wine is first and foremost the grape. Getting the best out of the association of grape variety, terroir and climate is what it’s all about. The date of harvest is essential as is the choice of parcel. Older vines are selected and then we patiently await the maturity of the grapes until they are almost over-ripe. The maceration is a long one and lasts for 3 weeks. After several rackings during the winter months, the clear wine is put into barrel. Our primary concern for this ageing process is to obtain the right balance between the wine (fruit), the wood (toasted notes, coffee, vanilla) and oxidation through the barrels. Blending follows and this prestige wine is then bottled. It’s an authentic Gaillac wine made from 80% Braucol and 20% Syrah from our oldest vines. A well-structured wine but with full, rich tannins.


• The principal characteristics of this wine are its richness and concentration. A blend of 60% Len de l’El and 40% Sauvignon from plots of vines aged about 40 years old, with low yields, which bring their fruit to full maturity. The quality of this fruit is preserved by cold skin contact and slow fermentation at a low temperature of 16-18° in 400-litre oak barrels. The wine is aged for 6 months with lees stirring, bringing complexity and body to the wine. Light gold in colour with a powerful, aromatic nose mixing notes of yellow flowers and ripe fruits. A rich and fat wine on the palate, with plenty of lingering fruit flavours and good length.



• The particularity of this wine resides in the harvest. Mauzac grapes from low-yielding (8 to 10 hl/ha) 40 year-old vines are harvested in several successive pickings until the first days of November. Such precautions enable us to obtain sugar-rich grapes with an alcohol potential of 20%. The sunny early autumn weather we get in October shrivels the grapes and concentrates the juice. Slow pressing is the only way of extracting all the sugar and the fermentation is started quickly but lasts for some time thanks to the all-important control of temperatures. This wine has flavours of ripe fruits, even candied fruits : dried abricots, quince, quince jelly. It should be drunk as an aperitif to fully appreciate its complexity. It also goes well with foie gras.
