The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The only producer in the Roussillon region to be rated "exceptional" by the Best Wines of France guide and Robert Parker, Domaine Gauby is the true highlight of its region. A forerunner and a true source of inspiration for a whole generation of winemakers, the estate asserts a very low interventionist style both in the vineyard and in the cellar.

Always copied but never equaled, "the Grand Cru of Roussillon" is a reference of the winemaking world, crafting exceptional vintages in both red and white wines.
Wine With two-thirds of syrah complemented by grenache, the 2020 Red IGP Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes opens on a magnificent fruit and flower basket aroma with a nose of great aromatic purity that is very engaging. The palate is in tune, smooth, and full-bodied, with relief and substance. Fruits and spices dialogue in symbiosis, surrounding polished tannins and beautiful holding. A splendid wine for long aging, rated 95/100 RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested, 100% de-stemmed, 2 to 4 weeks maceration, indigenous yeasts, 15 months maturation in old tuns and concrete vats then 9 months in bottle before marketing. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Organic wine, certified.
