Emile Peynaud’s book “Le Goût du Vin”  sparked my passion for wine. It also inspired the creation of this wine and the quest for new wine flavours, adding several grape and terroir profiles together in a new and original equation.

You are, of course, familiar with Merlot, a traditional Bordeaux grape variety that endows a wine with smoothness, softness and big red fruit aromas. But have you heard of Braucol? This native grape variety grown in the Tarn area deserves greater recognition!

It adds a fresh, spicy fruit with aromas of violets and liquorice to the blend. And when you add a touch of Viognier (a white wine grape variety!) bringing a complementary touch of acidity, you have all the ingredients you need for an extraordinary wine!
