Did you know?
La Vigne Blanche or "the white vine". But there were really blue grapes in it: Braucol, Cabernet Sauvignon, Duras, Merlot, Syrah. A combination that you only find in the Tarn region near Toulouse. There they like to drink their wine from unknown, regional grapes. Winemaker Jean-Marc Balaran has given 20% of the juice wood aging and sells this wine mainly to the regional catering industry.| Color: | Red | Taste profile: | Medium body | Country: | France |

The ancient wine region of Gaillac is located in the very south of France. For centuries it was one of the most important exporters of French wine. Until it lost the competition to the traders in Bordeaux in the nineteenth century. In recent years, Gaillac and its forgotten, old grape varieties have been rediscovered by adventurous wine drinkers.

Deze wijn is stevig en blijft ook een beetje slank. Heel smaakvol en past zich ook goed aan. Deze wijn heeft een mooie diepgang en is ook een topper.
