Description IGP Côtes Catalanes Rouge "Calcinaires"

Estate

Domaine Gauby, located in Calce in the Roussillon region, is renowned for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. Founded in the 1980s, the estate benefits from a wide range of terroirs between sea and mountains. It covers over 85 hectares, 45 of which are planted with vines. Gérard Gauby grows mainly local grape varieties on limestone and schist soils. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention. Domaine Gauby is considered a benchmark in Southern France.

Vineyard

The vines are planted on hillsides at 200 to 300 meters altitude, with a Mediterranean climate strongly influenced by the sea. Soils are composed of limestone, schist and clay-limestone, providing freshness and minerality. Yields are kept low to enhance grape concentration. Farming is chemical-free, using house-made compost and encouraging biodiversity. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted.

Wine

This IGP Côtes Catalanes red is a typical Roussillon blend offering both power and finesse. It shows intense aromas, fresh minerality and silky tannins. The diversity of grape varieties and terroir expression shine through. The wine is made without aggressive additives to remain true to the fruit. There’s no dominant oak influence, focusing on purity. A balanced and elegant wine.

Vintage

Vintage 2021 is notable for its freshness and balance, thanks to moderate weather conditions. A dry winter was followed by a cool, humid spring causing slight flowering delays. A mild summer and well-timed harvest ensured ideal ripeness. Yields remained low but quality was high, with vibrant aromatics. This vintage suits refined and digestible reds.

Vinification & Aging

Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts with no added sulfites during maceration, to respect natural expression. Aging takes place in concrete vats and large neutral oak casks to maintain freshness. No aggressive clarification or filtration is used. Minimal sulfur is added at bottling. The focus is on precision without over-extraction. Aging lasts about 12 months.
