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.

Note and review by M. OLIVIER O. Published on 22/07/2020
Arguably one of the finest white wines in the world: intense aromas, rich and lively on the palate, with remarkable complexity and length. Close to perfection: a very, very great moment of pleasure to be shared with enlightened wine lovers.
