Here, men have been able to build and preserve one of the most precious assets: the art of living in the South West.

If the city of Gaillac was born in 972, the vineyard that bears its name was planted in the 1st century BC by the Romans.

Montans, the neighbouring town located very close to Gaillac, was a major pottery centre in the 2nd century. The numerous remains found attest to the exceptional age of the Gaillac vineyards. It was the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Saint Michel de Gaillac who, in the Middle Ages, were the first to organise the vineyard and give a reputation to the wines of Gaillac.

Henri III and Louis XIV made it their delight. In the 17th century, "les vins du Coq", named after the fire mark that authenticated the barrels, enjoyed an excellent reputation throughout Europe.

The white Gaillac AOC was obtained in 1938, and much later for the red Gaillac AOC: in 1972.
