Description of IGP Côtes Catalanes Rouge "Mel"

Estate

Domaine Gauby is a renowned estate in the Roussillon region, known for its traditional and environmentally friendly viticultural practices. Located in the Côtes Catalanes, the estate produces wines that faithfully express the Mediterranean terroir.

Vineyard

The vineyard stretches over varied soils mainly composed of ancient schist, which imparts notable minerality to the wines. The plots are situated at altitude, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate tempered by cool night temperatures.

Wine

This 2023 red IGP Côtes Catalanes from Domaine Gauby exemplifies a typical local blend that shows freshness and aromatic complexity with notes of red fruits and spices. The vinification is carefully managed to enhance fruit purity and tannic structure.

Vintage

The 2023 vintage enjoyed favorable weather conditions, with a warm and dry summer and cool nights which allowed optimal grape ripening while maintaining good acidity.

Vinification & Aging

Vinification focuses on traditional methods with strict temperature control. Aging is carried out in concrete tanks to preserve freshness and primary aromas, ensuring a pure and direct expression of the terroir.

Grape Variety

Grenache, Carignan

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Clear and bright light garnet color.
  • Nose: Fresh aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry with subtle spicy notes and a hint of Mediterranean scrubland.
  • Palate: Nice liveliness on the attack, supple tannins, and a slightly peppery finish with good freshness.

Serving

Occasions

Ideal for convivial dinners with friends, family spring meals, or gourmet lunches on the terrace.
