In a mosaic of very different terroirs, the Gaillac vineyard is situated 50 km east of Toulouse, in the direction of Albi, in the Tarn departement. The vineyard stretches over both sides of the Tarn and to the north up to the medieval town of Cordes. Today, the appellation gathers around one hundred independent producers and 3 cooperative cellars. The red wines must be made from set minimum percentages of Duras, Braucol or Syrah grapes. Each grower will use their own choice of other varieties to blend. The red wines typically have a deep color and a powerful nose, with tones of red fruit and hints of spices.
