Rating: RVF 15.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine)
“Take a look at this 2011: the nose is an explosion of rose, lemon, and peach, blended with minty notes. The palate is in perfect harmony, just as fresh. Its perfect balance invites you to enjoy this bottle right away, but this white will also age well for a few years to everyone’s delight.” (Le Guide Hachette des vins 2013)

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. CHRISTIAN B. Published on August 1, 2014
Disappointing. Lacks clarity. Its delicacy makes it incompatible with many dishes, which overwhelm it. It probably needs to be decanted for several hours. It’s not good value for money.

This wine is too volatile. Open it at least 24 hours in advance to reduce the CO2 content.
