"This superb, very intense Muscadelle has incredible delicacy and a velvety, fresh, long aftertaste. An exemplary liquoreux." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF) Made from grapes passerillés on the stump, this Muscadelle is a very charming sweet wine!

Expert opinion

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated (2017 guide) 17.5/20 (Grand vin)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

This superb, very intense Muscadelle has incredible delicacy and a velvety, fresh, long aftertaste. An exemplary liquoreux.

About the domain :

The Plageoles family has left its mark on the recent history of wine in Gaillac. Robert, then Bernard and Myriam, who brilliantly took over from him, were pioneers in the defense of local grape varieties and ancestral winemaking techniques. Bernard's sons, Florent and Romain, are gradually taking over, defending the twelve varieties grown in their vineyards, including the delicious prunelart, the rare verdanel and the mauzac quartet (green, red, pink and black). Away from fashion and the beaten track, the estate continues to produce wines with strong personalities, exclusively from a single grape variety. This work of the head, the heart and the hands is fully reflected in a range of cuvées aiming for purity, uprightness and originality.
