"A wine with substance, charm and staying power that will ensure its longevity! (RVF) "
"Syrah dominates these old vines, accompanied by old vines of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, for a wine of wild blackberry, spices and zan, both pulpy and quite structured, with beautiful chalky tannins. It has substance, charm and a staying power that will ensure longevity". (Le Guide RVF 2024). Patience and length of time will be the allies of this magical cuvée!

About the wine:
Syrah dominates these old vines, accompanied by old vines of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, for a wine of wild blackberry, spices and zan, both pulpy and quite structured, with beautiful chalky tannins. It's got substance, charm and a staying power that will ensure longevity.
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.
