Braucol

Braucol, also known as Fer Servadou, is a red wine grape variety originating from Southwest France. Primarily associated with the regions of Gaillac and Marcillac, Braucol has a distinct character and is often used in red blends to contribute depth and structure.

Braucol wines are recognized for their intense color and robust tannins. The grape imparts flavors of dark berries, blackcurrants, and sometimes peppery or spicy notes. While it is often blended with other local grape varieties, such as Duras or Syrah, Braucol is occasionally vinified as a single-varietal wine to showcase its unique characteristics.

The grape thrives in the rugged terrain and challenging climatic conditions of Southwest France. Its ability to withstand these conditions makes it a valuable component in the region's red wine production. Braucol wines are known for their ability to age gracefully, gaining complexity and smoothness over time.
