Produced from very old Carignan vines (some of which are pre-phylloxera), La Foun is one of Domain Gauby's best-sellers. With its deep color, this cuvée displays great intensity and aromatic complexity. The terroir of limestone marl expresses itself in all its splendor. Another fine vintage.

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2014 guide) 96/100 (Vintage 2011) (Extraordinary wine)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2014 guide) 19/20 (Vintage 2011) (Exceptional wine)

About the domain :
Since his beginnings in the mid-1980s, Gérard Gauby has been an inspiring, demanding and passionate winemaker. His vines are cultivated with love and respect for plants and the ecosystem. He has revealed to the world the complexity and potential of Calce's ferruginous limestone and schist terroir. The winemaker has also succeeded in evolving his style towards less elevated, purer and more airy wines. Accompanied by his son, he continues this quest, with his cuvées gaining in expression and deliciousness. The whites are straightforward, with superb longevity and controlled ageing. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021s are top-of-the-range in both colors.
