About the estate:
Florentin and Andrée Vayssette, the grandparents, settled on the Chemin des Crêtes de Gaillac in 1930. Their son Jacques and his wife Maryse took over the estate. Later, their grandson Patrice and his wife Nathalie joined them to manage the estate’s 27 hectares of vineyards, which hold the High Environmental Value certification. A trusted name in the appellation.

1 opened in July 2019. Beautiful golden color. Aromas of yellow fruit. Perfectly balanced, with well-integrated sugar. Very long finish with notes of ripe apricot.
