FEATURES
Domaine Gauby's Côtes Catalanes Old Vines 2015 is a highly regarded red wine, boasting a 4.1 rating from numerous reviews. Domaine Gauby, led by Gerard and Lionel Gauby, has been a standard-bearer in the Roussillon region since the early 1980s, practicing biodynamic farming on their isolated vineyards in the Agly Valley. Their philosophy centers on creating "living wines" that profoundly reflect their unique soil. This red blend typically features Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, and sometimes Mourvèdre, sourced from exceptionally old vines, some over a century old. The winemaking process is traditional, utilizing concrete and wood for fermentation and aging, eschewing stainless steel to preserve the wine's authentic character. 【 Biodynamic farming from vines over 100 years old, reflecting "living wines" and terroir 】
Tasting notes for the Gauby Côtes Catalanes Old Vines 2015 highlight prominent black fruit notes like blackberry and plum, complemented by earthy undertones of leather and smoke. Oak, vanilla, and chocolate notes from aging are also present, alongside spicy hints of pepper, menthol, and fennel. Some red fruit characteristics, such as cherry, may also emerge. For similar vintages, expect dark fruit and wild herb complexity, polished tannins, and a cool mineral spine, with remarkable depth often achieved through whole-bunch maceration.
This robust red wine pairs excellently with beef, veal, and pasta dishes. It is also an ideal match for grilled lamb, roasted game, or hearty stews, where its depth and mineral spine can truly shine.
This wine is perfect for a convivial dinner with friends, a special family meal featuring rich, roasted meats, or an evening dedicated to exploring serious, terroir-driven biodynamic wines from the Roussillon region.
