At the top of a valley, in the tranquility and beauty of the hinterland of Gaillach, these owners work their 26 hectares of vines according to sustainable agriculture, with authenticity and character, in particular the Thibaud cuvée, made from pure Brocol, and a late harvest, the Maxime cuvée. But that's not all! They also offer two botanical trails (1.5 km or 2.5 km) to walk through the vines and discover grape variety panels and boards showing the plants in the vineyard (as well as audio comments from mp3 players - comments in English possible). Domaine Vaysette is also a cheerful welcome, in a modern building that can accommodate receptions and seminars.

In Cahuzac-sur-Vère, one of Cave Gayrel's three estates, Château Vigné-Lourac is a benchmark.

On avenue Foch, Alain Gayrel opened La Cave in 1997, where you can taste not only his own wines, but also a selection of the finest vintages from Gaillac and beyond.

This 20-hectare vineyard and olive grove has been producing nectars for about 15 years. It all began with the arrival of Christophe Merle, from Charente, in Gaillac. This region, particularly renowned for its vineyards, seemed perfectly suited for this professional to express his passion. In 2006, with his wife Christelle, they gave birth to this choice estate whose first vintage was released the following year. Since then, Château Balsamine has become a regular on the tables of gourmets and restaurateurs.
