Organic old-vine blend grown on limestone, clay-limestone, schist and rolled pebble soils, vinified with whole clusters and indigenous yeasts, then aged in concrete tanks and old foudres.
Style: A fresh, vibrant and mineral-driven southern French red, combining Mediterranean fruit, floral lift and fine earthy structure with remarkable drinkability and balance.
Pairings: Well-suited to charcuterie, grilled meats, Mediterranean cuisine, bistro-style cooking and modern casual dining. Excellent by-the-glass potential for restaurants seeking elegant, lower-extraction reds.
Domaine Gauby
Roussillon, France
Old-vine, organic Roussillon from one of the region's most respected estates.
Domaine Gauby is based in the village of Calce in the Pyrénées-Orientales, in the Roussillon region of southern France. The estate is widely regarded as one of the benchmarks for Roussillon and natural wine in the South of France more broadly, farming organically with old vines on limestone, clay-limestone, and schist soils. Vines range from 5 to 80 years of age. Wines are made with whole-cluster maceration and indigenous yeasts, then aged in old foudres and concrete tanks. The Jasse — a dry, skin-contact Muscat Petit Grain — is a remarkable departure from conventional Muscat, combining aromatic intensity with saline tension and phenolic grip.
