Domaine Plageoles - Gaillac Vin d'Autan 2009 (doux - 50cl)

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

This is one of the most astonishing wines in the range, which includes a number of them. The nose is very open, dominated by notes of wild strawberries and honey, and the liqueur is magnificent. Great style.

About the wine:

Every 30 seconds, the wine is different: no sooner have we enjoyed a fragrance than it has changed, passing through mint, then curry and saffron to end on tobacco, cocoa and parchment. The equally exceptional color adds its own nuance to the edifice. On the palate, candied orange and tender bitters confirm the exceptional breed of this 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 extremely rare verdanel and the mauzac quartet (green, red, pink and black). Away from fashion and the beaten track, the domaine continues to produce demanding, exclusively single-vineyard wines with strong personalities. This work of the head, the heart and the hands is fully reflected in a range of cuvées aiming for purity, uprightness and originality.
