Domaine Gauby - Côtes Catalanes Muntada 2021

Once again, the black Grenache grapes from La Muntada have produced a powdery, airy wine with a diaphanous texture and round, fine tannins. Notes of rockrose, crushed raspberry, white pepper, and a caressing mouthfeel round out the profile. A great wine.

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 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 wines are becoming increasingly expressive and delightful. The whites are exceptionally well-structured, with superb aging potential and meticulously controlled aging. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021 vintage reaches new heights in both white and red wines.
