Our vineyards :
Located 40 km north-east of Toulouse, the Gaillac appellation stretches along both banks of the river Tarn and up to the Cordais plateau.
The vineyard's climate benefits from two influences: the mild oceanic climate and the Mediterranean heat, which, in summer and autumn, accentuated by the Autan wind, ensure that the grapes ripen well.
The estate covers 65 hectares of red and 10 hectares of white, on three geologically different terroirs: Gravel / Clay-gravel / Gravel-limestone.
This wealth of terroir and soil, ranging from gravel to clay, enables us to produce and vinify a large number of unique grape varieties with character: Braucol, Duras and Syrah for the reds, and Loin de L'œil, Mauzac and Muscadelle for the whites. All these grape varieties from our region give our wines their originality, elegance and strength.
Like our terroir and our grape varieties, our wines are complex and draw their strength from this diversity.
