"The magic of old Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris from the Coume Gineste terroir is still present. Less expressive than the old vines at this stage in terms of aromatics, but the palate is straight, rectilinear, vertical, of immense length, which doesn't deceive. It will go down in the pantheon of great Coume Gineste wines". (Le Guide RVF 2024). A vigorous Côtes Catalanes, full of character! - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

About the wine:
The magic of old Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris from the Coume Gineste terroir is still present. Less expressive than the old vines at this stage in terms of aromatics, but the palate is straight, rectilinear, vertical, of immense length, which doesn't deceive. It will go down in the pantheon of great Coume Gineste wines.
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.
