En Passant Rouge

This range of wines is an ode to the inventiveness and curiosity of Domaine Gayda.
En Passant Rouge

Inspired by The Passenger, the pop-rock anthem by the iconic Iggy Pop, it expresses our nomadic spirit. Travelling, with rucksack on our back, we are guided by the search for unusual terroirs, pausing for a moment to reflect on the creation of these unique blends… we’re just passing through…

Tasting notes

The pale raspberry color with violet highlights captivates with its delicate brilliance. The nose, juicy and luscious, reveals aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, and wild strawberry. Upon aeration, a subtle hint of garrigue brings a charming Mediterranean freshness. On the palate, the attack is fresh and supple, giving way to a generous mid-palate reminiscent of a basket of freshly picked wild berries. The savory finish prolongs the tasting experience with freshness. It is enhanced by subtle notes of cocoa.

Press & awards

En Passant Rouge
“Gorgeous nose of wild strawberry, violets and lavender. Silky and charming attack, so perfumed and more-ish. Languedoc and Roussillon working in perfect harmony. It starts all Gimme Danger and finishes Lust for Life.” Matthew Stubbs MW
En Passant Rouge
90/100 “A vivid, pulpy blend of 80% syrah and 20% carignan. It shows notes of blueberries, dark cherries and wild herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins and texture. Blue fruit character with a seductive finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now." James Suckling
En Passant Rouge
90/100 "A deep, rich and concentrated nose here full of black cherries and blackcurrants. It is soft and smooth palate with wonderful depth of fresh raspberry and red cherry flavours accented by balancing acidity to keep freshness and liveliness.(…)" Decanter
