Les Vignobles Gayrel, Braucol Syrah, Côtes de Tarn, 6x75cl

🍷 Les Vignobles Gayrel – Braucol Syrah
France | Sud-Ouest | Côtes de Tarn IGP | Braucol & Syrah
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Traditional vinification with controlled temperatures to retain aromatic brightness, followed by ageing in stainless steel and neutral vessels to preserve the vibrancy and typicity of both varieties
Farming: Sourced from rolling hillside vineyards in the Tarn region, where Braucol (a local name for Fer Servadou) thrives alongside Syrah on clay-limestone soils, under the influence of warm southern sun and cool Atlantic breezes

🌿 A southern French gem—bold, spicy, and full of rustic charm.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with purple hues—bright and youthful.

👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and spicy. Redcurrant and wild blackberry notes mingle with black pepper, violet, and hints of garrigue herbs and earth.

👅 On the Palate:
Lively and robust. Ripe red and dark fruits are lifted by zesty acidity and backed by peppery spice and gentle tannins. The finish is fresh and savoury, with a hint of smokiness.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with duck breast, Toulouse sausage, cassoulet, grilled lamb, or lentil-based dishes. A versatile wine for hearty regional cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Best enjoyed young to capture its vibrant fruit and spice, though it can rest in bottle for 3–5 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This Braucol-Syrah blend is a characterful, food-friendly wine from France’s southwest—off the beaten path but big on flavour. If you love peppery reds with energy and personality, this one delivers.
