Domaine Gauby "Muntada" 2011
Commentaires sur ce vin :
Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 : 19/20. Muntada 2011 va plus loin dans sa dimension florale, porté par une myriade de petits tanins savoureux, dont la sève charnue et nerveuse libère un éclat hors du commun.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Jeb Dunnuck, avril 2014) : 95+/100. Gauby’s 2011 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Muntada, which comes from ancient, pre-phylloxera Grenache (45%), Carignan (35% and vines over 120 years in age) and Syrah (20%) vines, offers a deep, complex and almost distilled essence of wild herbs, blackcurrants, tar, licorice, sage brush and leather on the nose. There’s no makeup here, and what you get is the raw essence of the Roussillon. Spending 30 months in a combination of large and small barrels, it is full-bodied and rich, yet very focused and tight, with a firm, structured core. It will need 2-3 years of bottle age to round into form, yet will have upwards of 20 years, if not more, of total longevity. One of the top estates in France, Domaine Gauby is run by the talented Gerard and Lionel Gauby. While I wasn’t able to visit with them on this trip, I was able to taste through a full lineup of their 2011s, from bottle, in Colorado. The wines are stunning across the board, with their new single vineyard releases showing distinctive, singular characters.
