"A well-opened cuvée with notes of blackberry and bramble, an intense wine with an extremely fragrant and digestible fresh finish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF). A red with aromas of fresh plum, licorice and spices, roundness and volume on the palate, with great concentration and typicity... Not to be missed!

Expert opinion

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

Rated (guide 2017) 16/20 + Coup de Coeur (Very good wine)

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:

A well-opened cuvée with notes of blackberry and bramble, an intense wine with a fresh finish that is extremely fragrant and easy to digest.

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.

Note and review by M. BERNARD N. Published on 17/01/2018

A decent wine, but one that doesn't quite live up to its promise, given its price and the estate's reputation.
