The same small town named after the appeal lies to the east of Wine Country Southwest France . Gaillac is one of the oldest vineyards in France. At least since the first Century was operated here by the Romans wine. Maybe there was previously under the Celts (Gauls), a wine. During the migration, he came to a standstill and was only in the 10th Century by the Benedictine Monastery of Saint-Michel-de-Gaillac re-established. In the 13th Century adopted the Count of Toulouse Raymond VII for its wine country, a decree for a controlled designation of origin. In the 12th Century, the wine in northern Europe, especially England, exported and enjoyed great popularity there. The poet Auger Galhard Aquitaine (1540-1593) praised long before the invention of Champagne, the sparkling wine. Until the mid-20th Century it was mainly specialized in sweet white wines, but then began to produce rosé and red wines. The hallmark is the cock of the Gaillac-city arms, so the wines used to be called "Vins du Coq".
