"The Braucol is also beautifully harmonious, with structuring tannins: a vigorous red with dense, concentrated flesh". (Le Guide RVF 2024). Braucol (or Fer Servadou) is a South-Western grape variety that produces a wine with herbaceous, mentholated flavors and tannins that provide good aging potential. The winemaking process produces a frank, fruity wine, full of charm!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100
Domaine rated (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
The Braucol is also a harmonious wine, with well-structured tannins: a vigorous red with dense, concentrated flesh.
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.

An easy-drinking wine that would benefit from more concentration to give it more depth.
