A sublime wine from Gauby, now at its peak of maturity, offering a truly unforgettable tasting experience... The tannins have softened, and the aromas have evolved into notes of forest floor, leather, blackcurrant jam, and dried flowers. Phenomenal length. Decanting is recommended.
Lionel Gauby
Lionel Gauby is son of the great Gérard, Lord of Catalonia. Since the 1980s, this family has been on the same quest: making complex, perfectly balanced wines. As a winemaker, Gérard was implacable, waking up each day to question what he had done the day before. The style of wines at the estate never stopped evolving for 30 years. Lionel and Gérard produce wines at once complex and easy-drinking. The estate, located in the commune of Calce, is known and renowned everywhere. The cuvée Muntada is unanimously acclaimed by leading critics in the wine world, and has long been considered as perhaps the greatest wine of the Mediterranean basin. The Gauby clan has consistently and for many years worked their vines and soils using biodynamic methods. A pioneer of this approach, Gérard has been a trailblazer for his region. And today, Lionel has taken up the torch. It can’t have been an easy thing growing up in the shadow of a revered giant, but Lionel couldn’t have hoped for a better school of wine.
The nose offers aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, with floral and licorice notes. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, crisp and mineral, with a lovely smoothness and a very long finish.
With notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, flowers, and licorice. On the palate, it is digestible, with fine, well-integrated tannins that perfectly support its aromatic complexity, a hint of minerality, and a smooth texture. And to top it all off, it has a splendid length!
Nose with notes of grapefruits, plum, orange blossom and honeysuckle... Palate: big volume, sumptuous texture, refreshing and lingering finish. This cuvée is prized by true amateurs. The first white of the Gauby family, incredible value for money.
Notes of black fruits, spices and flowers. Naturally the nose is still closed at this stage. On the palate: that legendary silkiness, crisp fruit, smooth and salivating. Extraordinary length. Be patient!
This orange wine is the most original cuvée among all those produced from the legendary terroirs of Gauby. The nose is fragrant, with notes of citrus, kumquat, orange blossom, and honey... The palate is rich, full-bodied, and subtly tannic, with lovely fruit and a mineral finish.
A deep red wine, with an intense nose of black fruit, spices, undergrowth, musk. The palate is silky, with a rich body and texture. The finish is long and peppery. It is definitely one of our favorites, vintage after vintage.

Highly complex, with notes of blackberry, plum, strawberry, spice, and pepper, and a touch of garrigue. The palate mirrors the nose, offering lovely density and very fine tannins that enhance the fruit, along with impressive length. Decanting recommended.

Deep color; a magical nose with autumnal aromas of black fruits, forest floor, leather, sweet spices, and fruit—again and again. Silky and full-bodied on the palate, with a firm texture, fine tannins, and great length. Must be decanted one to two hours before tasting.
