NATHALIE LARROQUE GAILLAC FRANCE 2023 MARY TAYLOR IMPORTS

Braucol is an ancient, local grape variety typical of the Southwest France, also known as Fer Servadou. Braucol is known for its rustic charm, firm tannins, and aromatic profile marked by black fruits, sweet spices, and subtle vegetal notes such as grilled pepper. It thrives in the Gaillac terroir and is raraly found outside the region.

The 2023 Gaillac Braucol vintage is the result of a warm spring and summer, which led to the grapes ripening rapidly. Despite the exceptional heat this year, the 2023 vintage has developed rich aromas and enhanced the charateristics of the grapes, giving the wine pure notes of black berries, cherry and black pepper.
