Domaine de Pialentou is located on terraces on the left bank of the Tarn in Brens, just a stone's throw from the charming Renaissance town of Gaillac. On these pebble and gravel slopes, the vines benefit from exceptional exposure to the sun. Since October 1998, the Domaine has been the property of Jean and Kai Gervais. They immediately threw themselves into a large-scale vineyard and winery modernisation programme with the single aim of bringing out the excellent ageing qualities of the wines of the estate, whilst preserving all their charm and persionality. You can taste the remarkable Gaillac Les Gentilles Pierres red, for instance.
