Information
About the producer

This property has gained legendary status in Roussillon. 20 kilometres from Perpignan in the middle of a large area of grassland, garrigues and forests, the 45-hectare vineyard benefits from an excellent climate and geographical position, where the coolness from the altitude (150 to 300 metres) tempers the summer heat. Furthermore, the well-preserved, still partially wild region presents a magnificent landscape. The schist, clay and marl soil allow the vines to grow very deep roots, which gives the wines additional complexity. The terroirs look over the sea to the east; the vines are planted on areas of sedimentary limestone to the north and schist to the south that exist in overlapping vertical strata. Resolute in their respect for the environment, Gérard Gauby and his son Lionel stopped using chemical treatments a long time ago, replacing insecticides and weed control products with "house" concoctions of essential oils and composts. Their focus is on elegance and freshness in the wines, and the path they have chosen would seem to be a successful one.

About the wine

Known for their fortified wines and wine made in a traditional style, this long-standing estate brings together Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc in this cuvée. Organic methods with a natural wine-making approach are used for all plots and wines due to the benefits they bring. Chemical fertilisers and synthetic products are banned, and instead essential oils and home-made composts are favoured. In the winery, the natural and low-intervention philosophy is applied at every stage of the winemaking process.
The intense pinky-red wine reveals an expressive nose, full of concentrated red fruit aromas, while on the palate, the delicate tannins combine perfectly with its wonderful texture which leads onto a rich and complex finish. This delicious rosé can be enjoyed now but it could be interesting to leave it a few years to savour this wine’s wonderful flavours.
