Sourced from high-altitude clay-limestone soils, with extended vinification and tank aging to preserve fruit purity and freshness.
Style: A structured, generous red combining intense black fruit with spicy and floral notes, supported by vibrant freshness and an elegant length. The estate's signature cuvée, balancing the power of Braucol with the roundness of Merlot.
Pairings: Ideal with red meats, duck breast, aged cheeses, and chocolate-based desserts. A strong fit for classic brasserie and bistronomic settings, offering a versatile, food-focused red with both character and approachability.
Mas d'Aurel
Gaillac, Southwest France, France
Indigenous Southwest varietals from one of France's oldest wine regions.
Mas d'Aurel is an estate in the Gaillac appellation in the Tarn department of southwest France, one of the country's oldest wine regions. The domaine works primarily with indigenous local varieties: Loin de l'Oeil, Duras, Braucol, and Muscadelle — grapes rarely found outside Gaillac. The Loin de l'Oeil is the estate's signature white, aged in oak and acacia barrels with fine lees work to add texture and complexity. The Cuvée Alexandra — a blend of Braucol and Merlot from high-altitude clay-limestone soils — earned a star in the Guide Hachette 2023 and a gold at the Concours Gaillac 2024.
