Almost explosive in the nose. Lime and herbs over ripe honeyed fruit and intense mineral notes reminiscent of stone. Citrus freshness on the palate which has tremendous depth and complexity leading to a long honeyed finish. Stunning “chewy” texture and dominant minerality that vibrates the palate in a wine that will age “upshifting” giving ultimately...
At a time when the house was betting on the bigger, richer wines in terms of barrel and maturity, Gauby worked against the grain. In a hot region where over-ripeness can often be achieved in a flash he found the trick in biodynamic farming and shading the vineyards.
