South West: Gaillac

Domaine de Gineste

Gaillac is one of the oldest region of production in France, some almost unknown varietals are cultivated there such as the “Len de lel” which means in old Occitan far from the eye, or the Mauzac, or the Braucol or Fer servadou.
Domaine de Gineste owns 23 hectares and produces one of the top five (I would even be ready to say top three) Gaillac around.
