A very, very mild tut-tutting for going on about Beaujolais nouveau whilst mentioning Gaillac Primeur only en passant. Two years ago we tried the Primeur for the first time which far surpassed the Beaujolais. Last year the difference was even greater [Can't say about this year but I haven't found a Primeur as good as the last two years.] Support the local producers I say and buy direct from the Domaines.

I try never to drink Gaillac... gosh that will get you all tut-tutting. I have a problem with gastric reflux and was advised by the specialist not to drink Gaillac especially the white, the grape used makes the wine very acidic. He recommended Bordeaux red and that's what I try to stick to , as it works for me. It was very amusing as when I said I could not drink wine instead of saying '' never mind'' he started discussing vineyards and which wines would be best. St. Emilion is my preference.! I generally do not think much of Beaujolais Primeur but I'd better say no more.
Peter continues
I think a bigger story is the trend in Gaillac area for younger producers who are starting to break away from the strict historical controls on what they include in their vintages to take a punt on producing better more interesting wines.
