“Every 30 seconds, the wine transforms: no sooner have you savored one aroma than it shifts—moving through mint, then curry and saffron, and finally settling on tobacco, cocoa, and parchment. The equally exceptional color adds its own nuance to the overall profile. On the palate, candied orange and delicate bitter notes confirm the exceptional character of this sweet wine. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020 - RVF) A concentration of indulgence and finesse.

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

About the estate:
The Plageoles family has left its mark on the recent history of wine in Gaillac. Robert, followed by Bernard and Myriam—who brilliantly carried on his legacy—were pioneers in championing local grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques. The next generation is gradually taking the reins through Bernard’s sons, Florent and Romain, who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the twelve varieties in their vineyard, including the delicious Prunelart, the extremely rare Verdanel, and the quartet of Mauzac (green, red, pink, and black). Unconcerned with trends and off the beaten path, the estate continues to produce, with the utmost care, exclusively single-varietal wines endowed with strong personalities. This work of the mind, heart, and hands is fully reflected in a range of wines that strive for purity, integrity, and originality.

A real gem—admittedly a bit pricey, but so unique. It's not a Sauternes—it's a Gaillac! But it holds its own!
