Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Coume Gineste 2016
95/100
RVF
“‘It offers concentration, finesse, and great length.’ (RVF)”
Coume Ginest is a white wine with a bold character, crafted from a blend of old Grey Grenache and White Grenache. Its intense nose of white peach develops complexity with exotic flavors of coconut and lime, along with honeyed and toasty notes. The palate is structured and mineral, with a creamy texture that mirrors the nose. Mineral and salty notes harmonize with the lively acidity for a lingering finish. A vigorous Côtes Catalanes, full of character! • Please note: limited quantities available

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.
