Description
Domaine Gauby is located close to the small town of Calce in the Roussillon. The domaine is now run by Gérard Gauby, his wife Ghislaine and their son Lionel, who is responsible for the winemaking. Gérard took over the family estate in 1985 when it had just five hectares of vines, which included three hectares of over 100-year-old vines planted by his grandfather. Gérard has now grown the estate to around 40 hectares and has meticulously replanted all of the recently acquired vineyards. The estate sits among rolling hills with a sweeping view of the Mediterranean on one side and a dramatic backdrop of the Pyrénées on the other. Certified organic since 1996, the vineyards are farmed sustainably.
The grapes are harvested by hand aat low yields of 25hl/ha and sorted at the winery. Whole bunch maceration for 5-15 days in steel and concrete before undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 8 months in Stockinger Austrian foudres and concrete.
