“Delicious!”

“We conclude with La Muntada, a cuvée crafted from the estate’s finest plots, which perfectly captures the depth of the schist and limestone marl. It offers a subtle nose of rockrose and blackberry, with a rich, deep palate and tannins that give the wine structure and ensure it will age well.” (Le Guide de la RVF 2022) • Please note: limited quantities available

Wine rated (2022 guide) 96/100

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)

About the wine:

We conclude with La Muntada, a cuvée crafted from the estate’s finest plots, which perfectly captures the depth of the schist- and limestone-rich marl. It offers a subtle nose of rockrose and blackberry, with a rich, full-bodied palate and tannins that give the wine structure and ensure its longevity.

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.
