"Every 30 seconds, the wine changes: no sooner have you enjoyed one aroma than it shifts, moving from mint to curry and saffron, ending with tobacco, cocoa, and parchment. The equally exceptional color adds its own nuance to the structure. On the palate, candied orange and delicate bitter notes confirm the exceptional character of this sweet wine. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) A concentration of indulgence and finesse.

About wine:
This is one of the most astonishing wines in the range, which includes a number of outstanding examples. The nose is very open, dominated by notes of wild strawberries and honey, and the palate is magnificent. A wine of great style.

About wine:
Every 30 seconds, the wine changes: no sooner have you enjoyed one aroma than it shifts, moving from mint to curry and saffron, ending with tobacco, cocoa, and parchment. The equally exceptional color adds its own nuance to the whole. On the palate, candied orange and delicate bitterness confirm the exceptional pedigree of this sweet wine.
About the estate:
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 defending local grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques. The baton is gradually being passed on to Bernard's sons, Florent and Romain, who are wholeheartedly committed to the twelve varieties grown in their vineyard, including the delicious Prunelart, the extremely rare Verdanel, and the four varieties of Mauzac (green, red, pink, and black). Unfazed by trends and unconventional, the estate continues to produce exclusively single-varietal wines with strong personalities. This work of the mind, heart, and hands is fully reflected in a range of vintages that strive for purity, integrity, and originality.

Review and opinion by Mr. CHRISTIAN G. Published on 08/30/2023
A gem, admittedly a little pricey but so original. It's not a Sauternes. It's a Gaillac! But it holds its own!
