WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Gauby Calcinaires Rouge is a premium red wine produced by Domaine Gauby, a renowned winery located in the Côtes du Roussillon appellation of France. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with a mix of limestone and clay soils, which impart unique mineral characteristics to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in oak barrels for several months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Carignan, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect representation of the terroir and the winemaker's commitment to producing high-quality, authentic wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine Gauby Calcinaires Rouge has aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and raspberry, with subtle notes of cassis, black olive and earth.On the palate, it is juicy and supple with a soft tannic structure and a long, savoury finish. Its generous fruit and silky texture make this a delightfully enjoyable wine to savour.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Gauby

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
