“White Grenache and Grey Grenache. A wine of great aromatic purity, minerality, and a rich, fruity palate. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012). Coume Gineste is a monumental cuvée: delicate and mineral, with aromas of white fruit, lovely roundness, fruit, and richness, all supported by a lovely acidity.

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. PIERRE B. Published on January 6, 2016
It fizzed like a blanc de blancs champagne... only not as good. The winery refunded me. Thanks, but since the "calcinaire" cuvée also had a defect, I'm worried about the other three cuvées I bought at the same time.....!
