L'Enclos des Braves, Sud Ouest, France

The L'Enclos of the Braves is located in Vertus, between L'isle-sur-Tarn and Rabastens in the south-west of the Gaillac appellation . Overlooking the Tarn valley, the slopes of the right bank have varied exposures and more or less deep clay-limestone soils.

Here, the combination of a southern exposure and a soil rich in clay gives us an early, slowly maturing terroir, ensuring the richness, finesse and balance of the wines. 

Tombe Du Ciel, 2018

Tombé du Ciel is a cuvée of winemakers Chantal and Nicolas Lebrun from the L'Enclos des Braves estate, a Vin de France from Gaillac in the South West.

The nose is on black fruits such as sloes with spicy tips.

The palate is supple, lively and fresh.

A nod to the biodynamics of Nicolas Lebrun who used unknown grape varieties on this cuvée, braucol and plum!

Culinary Recommendation: To be served at 16 C - 18 C. Good match with Red meat
