Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Muntada 2019
96/100
RVF
"A delight!"
"We finish with La Muntada, a parcel-by-parcel selection of the estate's finest terroirs, which expresses the depth of the schistose and limestone marls. A subtle nose of cistus and blackberry with a pulpy, deep mouthfeel and tannins that underline the wine and make it last over time". (Le Guide de la RVF 2022) - Attention, limited quantities

Complex and intense, combining beautiful red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant) with aromas of blood orange, spices (thyme, pepper, liquorice), leather, dried rose, followed by empyreumatic and woody notes (cedar, cocoa, smoke).
Mouth
Fleshy and deep, complex and fine, built on juicy fruit (red and black), revealing a subtly spicy character (licorice, thyme, pepper) enhanced by floral, leathery, empyreumatic touches. Silky tannins, acidity for freshness and balance, long, persistent finish.

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.
