A new vintage, the 2008 was rated: RVF 16/20
Produced at both the Roucou-Cantemerle and Très Cantous estates, this red wine made from the eponymous grape variety has a pleasing nose with notes of crushed blackberries, a very interesting structure on the palate, and is exceptionally generous, with a surprising peppery character. A must-try!

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 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 cuvées that aim for purity, integrity, and originality.
