Domaine Gauby "Muntada" 2021 red wine

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (August 2023): Favorite, 96/100. "The old Grenache Noir from Muntada gives birth once again to a powdery, airy wine, with a diaphanous texture, and round, fine tannins. One can smell the cistus, crushed raspberry, and white pepper before savoring its caressing palate. Bravo!"
