The story goes...
A New World spirit has been breathed into this range of single varietal, high-tech wines that remain firmly rooted in their Languedoc homeland. Syrah and Sauvignon, the improbable confrontation of grape varieties and wine profiles, symbolise Domaine Gayda’s origins and the fusion of two worlds, Old and New.
Press and Awards
Bettane & Dessauve. « Sauvignon récolté à bonne maturité avec de la longueur. Équilibre, c’est un vin de charme ».
Le Revue Du Vin De France. « Le nez est d’un accueil chaleureux, la bouche sur un très bon équilibre de zeste d’agrume, frais à boire. »
Tasting notes
Pale yellow colour with silver highlights, offering a sustained brilliance and beautiful clarity and promising a rich taste experience. On first impression, the nose is typical of the grape variety, ripe and sunny, with seductive aromas of yellow lemon, fresh apricot and acacia. Hints of boxwood and exotic fruit come to the fore, adding to its intense, complex aromatic palette. On the palate, the attack is voluptuous, mouthcoating with an admirable structure. The wine is full-bodied and generous, with an exotic finish that combines the freshness of pineapple with the light vegetal notes of fresh grass. It seduces with its balance, freshness and length on the palate.
