Domaine Plageoles
Languedoc | France
For several generations, Domaine Plageoles in Gaillac has been dedicated to promoting the indigenous grape varieties of the Gaillac vineyard, including Mauzac, Ondenc, Prunelart, and Duras. This foundational work aims to preserve an ancient varietal heritage, closely linked to the plateau's soils and climate.
Each cuvée explores a different facet of these grape varieties, with profiles ranging from ethereal registers to more structured expressions, always rooted in their origin. The white wines are distinguished by their clean persistence and fine bitterness that extends the finish, while the reds exhibit granular tannins, characteristic of the local varieties.
The vinification processes favor a refined approach, with maturation conducted gently to avoid masking the grapes' inherent expression. The estate's overall work offers a clear and faithful interpretation of the Gaillac vineyard, providing a precise understanding of its historical identity and diversity
