‘Chemin de Moscou’ remains the emblematic cuvée of Domaine Gayda. Selecting our finest cellared wines, we reveal in Chemin de Moscou the Domaine’s exceptional vineyards. But never satisfied, and always on the lookout for the quintessential expression of our terroirs, ‘Reflet’ was born from a selection of the best Grenache and Syrah, and only when the desired quality of the vintage permits.
The bright purple colour with violet highlights immediately captivates with its brilliance. The intense and fresh nose opens with wild blackberries, black pepper and vegetable liquorice, with hints of sap and fresh leather. As it evolves, it gains complexity, revealing blueberry, wild strawberry and a delicate array of sweet spices, including nutmeg. The palate, with a smooth attack, displays supple and silky tannins, supported by a beautiful freshness. The black fruits return, accompanied by the freshness of liquorice, a touch of garrigue and a hint of saltiness. The finish is long and persistent, ending with refined notes of cardamom. The balance between complexity, sweetness and freshness is perfect.
