95/100
RVF
"It offers concentration, finesse, and great length." (RVF)
Coume Ginest is a white wine with a strong character, made from a blend of old Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc grapes. The intense nose of white peach is complemented by exotic flavors of coconut, lime, and honeyed, toasted notes. The palate is structured and mineral, with a smooth texture that mirrors the nose. Mineral and salty notes combine with lively acidity for a long finish. A vigorous Côtes Catalanes, full of character! • Please note: limited quantities available.

About the domain :
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 plants and the ecosystem. He has revealed to the world the complexity and potential of Calce's ferruginous limestone and schist terroir. The winemaker has also succeeded in evolving his style towards less elevated, purer and more airy wines. Accompanied by his son, he continues this quest, with his cuvées gaining in expression and deliciousness. The whites are straightforward, with superb longevity and controlled ageing. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021s are top-of-the-range in both colors.
