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. |

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. |
