ANECDOTE

Prunelart, the almost forgotten red grape variety of the Appellation, was cultivated in Gaillac 400 years ago. Olivier de Serres, a pioneer of Sustainable Agriculture, claimed in the 16th century that Prunelart produced "one of the best wines in the Kingdom." Its small, compact black grape clusters give us a colorful and full-bodied wine with aromas of candied red fruits.
