Domaine Philemon Gaillac Rouge Duras 2025 750ml

The cuvée “Duras” is named for the single varietal from which it is made. Duras has a long history in the Tarn region and is certainly one of the pillars of Gaillac’s red wine production. Domaine Philemon has two hectares of Duras, one parcel planted by Mathieu’s father in 1990 and another by Mathieu in 2003. The Duras is typically the first of the red varieties to be harvested at Philemon. As a result of Mathieu’s severe pruning the low yielding vines produce a wine that is very dark with purple hues. The wine exhibits the region’s typically savory and spicy flavors which flow through the palate without any discernible tannins.
