Domaine Gauby dynamique - Côtes du Roussillon - Vieilles Vignes 2020

The nose of Hegoxuri du domaine Arretxea develops on notes of citrus and exotic fruit. The palate is full-bodied and invigorating, with an unrivalled minerality. Hegoxuri is a bottle of rare exception! A rare 2022 vintage, to be forgotten in your cellar, such is its potential.

This Montagny 1er cru du domaine Jean-Marc Boillot is a white Burgundy coup de coeur! The nose has character notably on verbena, pure white fruit on the palate, with a saline touch although the fruit is ripe, and a fresh apricot note.

Jasper Norris: 90/100

This blanc cuvée Essencial from domaine des Schistes has all the gourmandise we've come to expect from southern wines, without ever lapsing into loudeness. This cuvée essencial, a blend of vermentino, grenache and maccabeu, is rich and very fruity. A lovely organic aperitif wine, it will also be at home with summer dishes (antipasti, salads...)

The cuvée Essencial rouge du domaine des Schistes is from a terroir of schist marl slopes and clay-limestone plateau in the commune of Tautavel. The wine is quite expressive with notes of black fruit and zan. The palate is smooth, well-balanced and quite complex: spices (pepper) mingle with black fruits (blackberry). Good length. Good value for money.

The cuvée Vieilles Vignes du domaine Gauby is beautifully racy. The nose is complex with notes of black fruits and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, echoing the aromas of the nose, with great length. A wine still a long way from its peak. Magnificent!
