"Freshness and minerality, with a hint of pleasant bitterness".
Delicate and subtle, the nose of Cuvée Les Calcinaires opens with aromas of fresh fruit (peach, apricot), exotic accents (pineapple, lychee), lovely citrus scents (orange, citron), and is delicately minty. Tasty and round, the palate offers lovely pineapple and citrus aromas with a hint of mint and honeyed notes.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2022) 91/100 (Vintage 2020)
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 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.
