More info

The Gayrel vineyard is located on the right bank of the River Tarn, in the heart of the Gaillac region. The region is situated at a crossroads for climatic influences, where continental, Mediterranean and oceanic climates all come together, each bringing its distinctive influence over the vines. The vineyard stretches from the Premières Côtes to the Cordais Plateau, where the vines are planted at 300 metres above sea-level, benefitting from cooler influences which impart freshness to the wines. The sloping vineyard benefits from a combination of clay-limestone soils, which offer excellent balance between the water retention properties of the clay component and the freshness imparted by the limestone element.

The juice was fermented with selected yeasts in isothermal tanks. This helps to preserve the aromatics while also helping to limit the addition of sulphur required. After the wine was racked and blended, it was rested without moving to preserve the natural carbon dioxide from fermentation, resulting in a subtle spritz on the palate.

Les Vignobles Alain Gayrel

In 1976, Alain Gayrel took over the family estate of nine hectares and has been committed ever since to establishing it as a true benchmark estate for Gaillac wines. On ancient winegrowing soils, Alain carefully selected the best plots of land, which were meticulously cultivated by expert hands, to allow the vines to express the terroir. Today the legacy is continued by Alain’s son, Vincent. The Gayrel family has established long-term partnerships with winemakers and growers, to produce modern, fruit-driven wines which showcase the Gaillac region and the signature varieties of the South West of France
