Domaine Gauby, the undisputed icon of Roussillon, holds 3 stars from the French wine guide RVF and stands as the region’s leading light. A trailblazer and source of inspiration for an entire generation of winemakers, the estate champions a deeply respectful, low-intervention approach—both in the vineyard and the cellar.

Set across 100 hectares of wild, arid, and dramatic terrain, the estate is a model of biodiversity, where organic farming, agroforestry, mixed crops, and livestock all thrive side by side.

Gérard Gauby and his son Lionel draw out the full depth and character of Calce’s remarkable soils—a patchwork of limestone and iron-rich schist unlike anywhere else.

Domaine Gauby’s wines are celebrated for their luminous purity, elegance, and unmistakable sense of place. With careful ageing that preserves freshness and adds complexity, these wines are built to evolve beautifully over time. A true reference point for the region—unrivalled in vision and execution.
