We couldn't go past this trio of luscious Gaillac Doux or moelleux (or sweet wines!): the Muscadelle, which comes of a 40-60 years parcel on Schist and Clay and is cropped at a miserly 15hl/ha. The fruit is concentrated on the vine - passerillage - though in some years a proportion of botrytis further richens this nectar. It's a sweet wine dripping in floral and honey perfume, the palate is rich and succulent yet not at all cloying. This wine is vinified and aged in old oak demi muids. The Loin de L'Oeil (an ancient variety also spelt Len de l'el) is made with a similarly derisory yield and method as the Muscadelle. The name translates as 'far from the eye'. Why? From Google: "...the bunches are situated near the front of the branch, and have a long peduncle. As such, they are far from the eye (the bud) of both the branch and the bunch". It's an intense, sweet, peachy and citric wine and aromatically lifted in the Sauternes vein. Kernel and candied pineapple notes lend an exotic south west feel but overall the volatiles keep the wine beautifully pitched. The last wine is made from Mauzac Roux (one of the six Mauzac varieties worked by the Plageoles family). Its yield is decimated by botrytis and surrenders just 25 hl/ha worth of fragrant golden, citrus-scented juice. Perhaps the least sweet in the range, it is nonetheless viscous in the mouth with all kinds of citrus oil, orange oil and red grapefruit in particular, apple cider and candied peel notes. Like most Plageoles wines, this is both fascinating and delicious.
