Oenorando® La ronde des vignerons

THE GAILLAC VINEYARD

The vineyard appears 50 km from Toulouse. It begins at the borders of Haute-Garonne and Tarn, extending to the edges of the Albigeois region. The Tarn River, one of the main tributaries of the Garonne, along with the Vère River, organizes the vineyard into three approximate thirds, each corresponding to a specific terroir:

• The alluvial terraces on the left bank (soils of pebbles, sand, and gravel)
• The hillsides on the right bank (clay-limestone soils)
• The Cordais plateau (limestone soils)

Conditions everywhere are favorable for vine cultivation. The climate ideally combines oceanic and Mediterranean influences. Gaillac is also swept by the beneficial Autan wind, a drying wind that ensures extraordinarily healthy harvests for the winemakers.

Recognized as an AOC since 1938, the Gaillac vineyard is a stronghold of ancient grape varieties. While winemakers everywhere enjoy rediscovering old grape varieties that were sometimes set aside, our vineyard is among those that have never broken with their history. Our grape varieties define our identity: Mauzac, Loin de l'œil, and Ondenc for whites; Braucol, Duras, and Prunelart for reds.

The array of our wines is radiant with profiles and flavors, including fresh white, red, and rosé wines, still and sparkling wines, and dry and sweet wines, all united by a common base of grape varieties
