The estate and the wine |

As the undisputed master of Roussillon, Domaine Gauby holds three stars from the Guide RVF and is acclaimed by critics as the true beacon of its region. A trailblazer and inspiration for a generation of winemakers, the domain advocates a minimally interventionist approach both in the vineyard and the cellar.
Practicing agroforestry and organic farming, alongside mixed cropping and livestock in a rugged, arid, and wild environment, this 100-hectare estate stands out as one of the most fascinating operations in the area. Gérard Gauby and his son continue to unveil the complexity and potential of the Calce terroir, with its unique ferrous limestone and schist.
Unmatched and referred to as the “Grand Cru” of Roussillon, Domaine Gauby is a benchmark that crafts cuvées sparkling with purity and charm, featuring expertly managed aging and superb longevity. |

With two-thirds Syrah complemented by Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 red IGP Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes bursts with flavors of wild blackberry, spices, and licorice. This wine offers a pulpy and structured juice, framed by beautiful chalky tannins. It's a well-ripened, rich, and concentrated wine that still retains a lot of finesse and freshness. It has depth, charm, and a structure that will ensure its longevity. Rated 93/100 by RVF. |
