🏰 The 2017 Domaine Gauby Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a wine of deep character and complexity, crafted from old vines ranging from 40 to over 120 years old, planted on stony soils of marl and schist. Domaine Gauby is renowned for its trailblazing commitment to a vigorous biodynamic viticultural regimen, with Gerard Gauby and his son Lionel emphasizing manual labor and allowing wild plants and trees to grow in and around the vineyards. This dedication results in a unique style that balances power and restraint, purely expressing its terroir. The wine presents a deep red color. On the nose, it offers notes of jammy red and black fruits like blackberry, blueberry, and cherry, intertwined with Mediterranean scrub (thyme), leather, and spices (pepper). The palate is deep and elegant, with juicy fruit, licorice, and thyme notes, underpinned by incredible minerality that brings freshness and balance. It features fine, elegant tannins and a long, savory finish. 【 A biodynamic masterpiece from ancient vines 】. 🍴 This complex red wine is a superb match for hearty and flavorful dishes. Enjoy it with a wild mushroom risotto, a wild boar chop, a Catalan stew, or a braised ham. It also pairs wonderfully with lamb prepared with garlic and rosemary. 🥂 The Domaine Gauby Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2017 is ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or a special occasion where a wine of profound character is desired.
