Domaine Gauby - Les Calcinaires Rouge 2008
Notes: RVF 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
"Juicy and bursting with fresh fruit, this red wine charms with its tangy finesse and refreshingly easy-drinking style... " (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2010 - RVF). A blend with a high proportion of Syrah (50%), this great classic from the estate continues to charm with its intense fruit and beautiful texture. Well worth discovering!

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About the estate:
Since his beginnings in the mid-1980s, Gérard Gauby has been an inspiring, demanding, and passionate winemaker. His vines are cultivated with love and respect for the plants and the ecosystem. He has revealed to the world the complexity and potential of the Calce terroir with its limestone and ferruginous schist soils. The winemaker has also successfully evolved his style towards less mature, purer and more airy wines. Accompanied by his son, he continues this quest, with his vintages gaining in expression and deliciousness. The whites are very straightforward, with superb longevity and controlled aging. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021 vintage is reaching new heights in both colors.
