Domaine Vaillières is one of the estates that Famille Arbeau manage and this rosé is a blend of Braucol, Syrah and Duras, all local varieties to the Gaillac region. The result is a floral and lifted wine with plenty of berries and a touch of creaminess.

Located on the outskirts of the stunningly beautiful city of Toulouse, the region of Fronton is a quaint region that flies under the radar of most wine enthusiasts. It isn’t flashy or bright with fancy varieties or old wealth, this is farming land where the wineries focus on local varieties and keeping to traditions. Enter the Arbeau family, who have a winery located in the town of Labastide-Saint-Peirre, literally wedged inbetween narrow streets that are sure to cause moments of panic for any tourist in a rental car. Anne and Géraud Arbeau have transformed their century old winery into a marvel, adapting their local varieties into the fast paced world of modern drinking with bright labels and equally bright wines. They not only source from Fronton, which gives them access to the local Négrette but also source from the surrounding South-West regions of Gaillac, Madiran and Cahors amongst others to showcase the delights that usually only feature a couple of paragraphs in any french wine book.
