Causse Marines Description
Les Greilles is an elegant white wine crafted from a blend of local Gaillac varieties—Mauzac and Loin-de-l’Oeil—enhanced by a touch of old-vine Muscadelle. It’s a wine we may not praise often enough, though it certainly deserves it.
This is a remarkably complex wine, full of subtle nuances that make it an exceptionally versatile pairing for food.
It shines as an aperitif, yet it also complements a broad spectrum of dishes—from charcuterie and cured meats to vibrant, spicy cuisines from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and Sri Lanka.
The fruit is sourced from several low-yielding plots in their breathtaking vineyards, with yields capped at just 35 hectolitres per hectare. This low yield results in exceptional fruit concentration, clearly expressed in the wine’s depth and character.
Patrice, the passionate winemaker behind this cuvée, works with traditional varieties native to this beautiful terroir to produce wines of outstanding charm and flavor.
