Description
In a nutshell:
Fresh, fruity and grippy red from the Gaillac region of South West France.
The lowdown:
This juicy and pleasingly slightly rustic red is made with the local grape Braucol. Hand harvested from a windswept hillside plot of old vines before undergoing a traditional wild yeast fermentation and then maturing for just 6 months in concrete in order to preserve those aromas and that wonderful freshness. Fresh aromas of wild blackcurrant and berry notes with touches of spice and green pepper undertones lead onto a medium-bodied palate with soft and juicy dark fruit notes, some black pepper spice, touches of rustic earthiness and mild tannins through to a juicy, fruity finish.
The Producer:
In the rolling hills of Gaillac, Domaine Gayrard has been growing vines for about 500 years. It fell to Maurice Gayrard in the 1950s to kick-started modern wine production by being on of the first to start estate bottling. Fast forward to the early 2010s, when Pierre and Laure Fabre breathed new life into the estate. They replanted indigenous varieties, like the scarce Braucol and Loin dOeil, and expanded their holdings with vines from the neighbouring Château Moussans. Today, Domaine Gayrard spans over 30 hectares, all organically certified and biodynamically managed since 2019.
When to drink:
Try with Confit du Canard or cassoulet, great with weekday dishes like sausages or cottage pie, or earthy stews in general.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
