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.
