The gardens surround the terraces with lawns, a range of shrubs, borders and trees including figs, walnut, olive, plums and persimmon. Below the pool and the gardens, there is a paddock which leads up to the vines which are located on two sides of the house. These are let to a local vigneron.

A quite wonderful property in a quiet setting overlooking the vines, yet only a short drive to Gaillac.
