{"product_id":"domaine-plageoles-gaillac-contre-pied-2019","title":"Domaine Plageoles Gaillac Contre Pied 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eContre Pied is a carbonic-macerated Duras from Gaillac, made deliberately against the grain of the variety's rustic reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGaillac, on the Tarn north-east of Toulouse, is one of the oldest vineyard areas in France and holds a collection of local grapes found almost nowhere else. The Plageoles family have spent three generations recovering those varieties, and Duras is among the region's traditional reds. To be contre-pied is to be diametrically opposed to something, and Florent Plageoles took the view that Duras would take to the Beaujolais treatment; the cuvée has since become a mainstay of the range. The fruit comes from a block of clay and limestone soil at Cahuzac-sur-Vère, farmed organically. Winemaking is a short carbonic maceration followed by six months in concrete tank, with no oak at any stage. The result is crunchy and sappy — red fruit, tensile acidity and soft grainy tannin around a plump, cherry-like weight, with a little dark chocolate and spice filling out the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink over the next two or three years. Serve cool, around 16°C, with charcuterie, roast chicken or a plate of cured ham.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
