"Grand Vin (RVF)

"The Grenache Noirs from Muntada once again give birth to a powdery, airy wine with diaphanous substance and a fine, round grain of tannin. Cistus, crushed raspberry, white pepper and a caressing touch complete the picture. A great wine".

Rated (guide 2024) 96/100 Coup de Coeur

Domain rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)

About the wine:

The Grenache Noirs from Muntada once again give birth to a powdery, airy wine with diaphanous substance and a fine, round grain of tannin. Cistus, crushed raspberry, white pepper and a caressing touch complete the picture. A great 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.
