Notes: RVF 20/20
“The 2008 La Muntada will delight even the most jaded taster with its stunning aromatic complexity, in a dynamic and smooth profile that is even superior to that of previous vintages: a liveliness, freshness, and harmony worthy of France’s greatest wines. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
Since his early days 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 iron-rich schist soils. The winemaker has also successfully evolved his style toward wines that are less heavily aged, purer, and more airy. Alongside his son, he continues this quest, and his vintages are gaining in expression and richness. The whites are of great integrity, with superb longevity and masterfully controlled aging. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021 vintages are approaching the pinnacle of excellence in both styles.

Very elegant and refined It has a southern character without being overly heavy, even though it packs a punch

A wine that is still closed; it needs time. Delicate in texture.

Review by Mr. GREGOIRE C. Published on 12/18/2012
Undoubtedly a truly great wine, still quite reserved at this stage, which will need time to develop its character, but will reveal itself with panache to those who are patient enough to wait.
