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 becoming increasingly expressive and delightful. The whites are exceptionally well-structured, boast superb aging potential, and are aged with precision. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021 vintage approaches the pinnacle of excellence in both white and red wines.
