Refined freshness, a delicate and sensual palate, and just the right amount of body—everything needed to create a great wine. One of the finest wines of the Roussillon.” (Bettane + Desseauve 2020) • Please note: limited quantities available

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 ethereal. Alongside his son, he continues this quest, and his wines 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 of excellence in both styles.

Review by Mr. OLIVIER O. Posted on July 22, 2020
Undoubtedly one of the best white wines in the world: intense aromas, a palate that is both rich and lively, with remarkable complexity and length. Close to perfection: a truly exceptional experience to share with discerning wine lovers.
