"The old macabeus vines on this 2021 carpet the palate and are already demonically salivating pure and long-lasting. They express with great elegance that masterful reduction typical of the estate and that toasty-smoky signature, which combine with the energy we know them for." (Le Guide RVF 2024). Here's a classic Roussillon white, truly timeless. An ample, vibrant, fresh and deep bottle.

Lively and sapid, a lovely volume emerges with citrus, aniseed and white flower aromas, a subtle balance between the generosity of ripe fruit, lively acidity and a minerality that accentuates the airy side, a long finish with a hint of saltiness and bitterness.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100
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 old macabeus vines on this 2021 carpet the palate and already have a demonic salivating purity and great length. They express with great elegance the masterful reduction typical of the estate and the toasty-smoky signature, which combine with the energy they're known for.
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.
