"The Duras, with its rusticity firmly anchored in its body, sketches out a well-constructed, elegant tannin on a structure that's more supple than it was, almost generous". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100
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 Duras, with its rusticity firmly anchored in its body, sketches out a well-constructed, elegant tannin on a structure that's more supple than it was, almost generous.
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.
