"Delicious"
Mauzac Roux, made entirely from the Mauzac grape variety, has a lovely light yellow color and a bouquet with notes of white flowers (verbena, linden) and hints of honey. It’s beautifully lively on the palate, with honey notes as well, accompanied by aromas of citrus zest. Delicious with a good tarte tatin!

About the estate:
The Plageoles family has left an indelible mark on the recent history of wine in Gaillac. Robert, followed by Bernard and Myriam—who brilliantly took over the reins—were pioneers in championing local grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques. The next generation is gradually taking over, led by Bernard’s sons, Florent and Romain, who devote themselves body and soul 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 cuvées that aim for purity, integrity, and originality.
