RVF
"The old Macabeus vines in this 2021 vintage coat the palate and already display a mouthwatering purity and great length. They elegantly express the estate's signature controlled reduction and toasted-smoky notes, which combine with their characteristic energy. " (Le Guide RVF 2024). This is a great classic among Roussillon whites, truly timeless. A full-bodied, vibrant, fresh, and deep wine.

About the estate:
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 ferruginous schist soils. The winemaker has also successfully evolved his style towards less mature, purer and more airy wines. Accompanied by his son, he continues this quest, with his vintages gaining in expression and deliciousness. The whites are very straightforward, with superb longevity and controlled aging. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021 vintage is reaching new heights in both colors.
