Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2019 guide) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Loin de l'oeil (70%) and Muscadelle are combined in this masterful, golden-colored Gaillac, opening with sustained, complex aromas of candied lemon, spices, honey and white flowers. The palate is also highly aromatic, combining intense concentration, great richness, imposing volume and fine freshness in perfect harmony.
About the domain :
Florentin and Andrée Vayssette, the grandparents, settled in 1930 on the Chemin des Crêtes in Gaillac. Jacques, their son, and Maryse took over from them. Then their grandson Patrice and his wife Nathalie joined them to run the estate's 29 ha of vines, which have been awarded the "Haute valeur Environnementale" label. A sure bet in the appellation.

1 opened in 07/19. Beautiful golden colour. Nose of yellow fruit. Perfect balance, well-integrated sugar. Very long ripe apricot finish.
