South-West of France Domaine Plageoles

Our committee's review

With 2 stars from Revue du Vin de France—France’s most respected wine publication—Domaine Plageoles is inseparable from the exciting revival of the South-West. First Robert, then Bernard and Myriam left a lasting mark on the history of Gaillac, standing as pioneers in preserving local grape varieties and reviving traditional winemaking methods.

Far from trends and conventions, their son Florent now carries the torch with unwavering dedication. He continues to champion indigenous grapes, crafting bold, characterful wines—all from single varieties. Each cuvée is a one-of-a-kind expression, marked by purity, precision, and a fiercely independent spirit.

Wines everyone should experience at least once in their life—like this Gaillac, a true favourite of our Selection Committee.

The 2019 Gaillac Duras Red proudly showcases the noble rusticity of the Duras grape, with a structure that’s both firm and refined, and a texture that’s generous yet supple. Aromas of dark berries and cocoa weave through a ripe, well-infused, and beautifully balanced palate. The tannins are present but never overwhelming, giving the wine depth and definition, along with notes of spice and a subtle smoky edge. It’s full of character and charm—a wine that shines with slow-cooked dishes like osso buco or seven-hour lamb. A must-try, and a favourite of our Selection Committee. Rated 93/100.

One of the South-West’s most distinctive and original voices—a standout favourite of our Selection Committee.
