Description

This terroir driven Red from the rebellious and characterful southern French winemaker Gerard Gauby is packed full of dark bramble fruit and earthy spices on the nose. The palate reveals more ripe fruit with an elegant floral lift and cool mineral notes on the long finish. Big rich and structured this wine drinks well in its youth but with reward patient cellaring. Drink 2019 – 2030.

About this WINE

Domaine Gauby

Domaine Gauby

The modern era for this excellent Côtes du Rousillon estate dates from 1985 when the energetic Gérard Gauby took over the family estate. Previously the wines were sold in bulk to the local co-operative, but Gérard took the brave decision to go it alone.

The domaine is situated in the village of Calce, in the Vin-de-Pays appellation of Coteaux des Fenouilledes. As the name of the village suggests, the soils in this area are predominantly chalky and are suitable for both red and white wines.

A number of grape varieties are planted at the domaine, the reds include Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, the whites are made from Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Viognier and, unusually for this area, Chenin Blanc.

The wines are elegant and modern with great balance and concentration.
