Gauby Rouge Vieilles Vignes Igp Côtes Catalanes, 2022

Gauby Rouge Vieilles Vignes IGP Côtes Catalanes 2022 is a characterful southern French red from one of Roussillon’s most respected names. Sourced from old vines, it reflects the depth, freshness, and Mediterranean energy that have made Domaine Gauby a benchmark producer in the region.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, vibrant color in the glass, with aromas of dark berries, garrigue herbs, black pepper, and a subtle earthy edge. On the palate it is typically concentrated yet lively, combining ripe fruit, savory spice, and a mineral backbone that keeps the wine fresh and precise. The old-vine fruit often gives the wine extra texture and length, while the balance of structure and brightness suggests good aging potential. In a strong vintage like 2022, it should develop additional complexity over the next several years, gaining more nuance in spice, dried herbs, and forest-floor notes.

Production
Gauby’s vineyards in Roussillon are shaped by warm Mediterranean sunshine, cooling influences from altitude and wind, and soils that help preserve freshness in the grapes. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée comes from older vines, which naturally yield less fruit but deliver greater concentration and complexity. The wine is crafted with a focus on purity and balance, with careful harvesting and cellar work intended to express the character of the site rather than heavy extraction or oak influence.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled lamb, roast duck, game dishes, herb-rubbed pork, and Mediterranean fare such as ratatouille or charred vegetables. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young, to let the aromas and structure fully open up.

Producer
Domaine Gauby is widely regarded as one of the leading estates in Roussillon and a major force behind the region’s modern reputation for expressive, terroir-driven wines. The estate has earned acclaim for its thoughtful vineyard farming and its ability to produce reds with both intensity and freshness. Over time, Gauby has become a reference point for southern French wine lovers seeking authenticity and finesse.
