“This expressive blend—composed of equal parts Braucol and Syrah (cherry, prune, sweet spices, coffee, and forest floor notes)—strikes a fine balance between power and freshness on the palate, supported by a lovely tannic structure that bodes well for its aging potential.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

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.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 21, 2026
A discovery of this characterful wine with a solid framework—warm and very dense—driven by tangy fruit and marked by a lively freshness. The whole is underpinned by a firm yet silky tannic structure with a hint of toasty oak. It seems it could use a little time to integrate its aging and soften up. Pair it with a salted pork dish served with lentils.
