Gauby Calcinaires Rouge

For many years it was a second-rate region, a region engraved in our minds simply as the second compound of the chaotic Languedoc-Roussillon. An endless source of cheap mass-produced wines, in fact overripe alcoholic fruit bombs. Who could have imagined that producers like Gerard Gauby would reveal the real truth of the Roussillon that today puts itself in contention for the best reds of the French South? Calcinaires Rouge is the most wonderful introduction to Gerard's wines from the region's classics Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Carignan. The cup vines are the youngest on the estate and the cultivation is detailed and biodynamic, adapted to the heat and wind of the region. The peppery fruit stimulates the ripe and round mouthfeel in a wine that carries the wonderful freshness of youth.
