“Both its blend and style differ from the previous vintage, offering greater richness and a minerality that is more pebbly and less flinty. Sunny, smooth yet fluid and easy to drink.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2017)

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 vintage approaches the pinnacle in both styles.
