Coume Gineste stands at the pinnacle, offering aromatic richness, unparalleled finesse, intense salivation, and breathtaking length. Undeniably one of the greatest white wines of the South, it will take its place among the pantheon of Gérard Gauby’s finest wines.
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 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 in both styles.
