Rating: RVF 18.5/20
“Among the Premiers Crus, the Vieilles Vignes white goes to great lengths in 2008 in terms of aromatic finesse (rice powder, citrus zest, fennel, etc.) and the clarity of its flavors, in a refined style that gets to the heart of the matter and almost makes one forget the wine’s tremendous vigor and intensity. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF)

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 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 airy. Alongside his son, he continues this quest, and his vintages 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 vintages are approaching the pinnacle of excellence in both styles.

Review by Mr. DOMINIQUE W. Posted on July 5, 2013
Well-structured, with lovely notes of bitterness; don't drink it too cold, and let it breathe a little

Review by Mr. GREGOIRE C. Published on 12/18/2012
A wine full of finesse, best opened a little in advance. A very feminine, precise, and delicate style, with subtle notes of pineapple. A real treat for the discerning wine lover.
