Gaillac & Fronton Wine Regions Guide

Rediscover the Heart of French Wine Tradition: Gaillac and Fronton's Undiscovered Gems Await

EXPLORE ALL OUR SOUTH WEST FRANCE WINE REGION GUIDE

Last updated: June 25, 2024

Introduction

To the north and east of Toulouse, flanked by the River Tarn and bathed in Mediterranean sunshine, the vine flourishes in a forgotten corner of France. Yet there is much to enjoy in the undulating landscapes of Gaillac and Fronton, not least a glacial pace of life, beautiful countryside, hearty gastronomy, and delicious local wines!

Globalization – and ubiquitous varieties – have scarcely made inroads in the vineyards of the Southwest, where esoteric gems like Braucol, Négrette, and Ondenc generally rule the roost. Indeed, both areas offer an enviable collection of indigenous wine grapes that have yet to become global sensations. For that reason alone, Gaillac and Fronton deserve your undivided attention.
