Domaine Gauby Vieilles Vignes Blanc Côtes du Roussillon

Roussillon Wine Region, France

Ancient Macabeu vines on schist producing one of France's most original whites. Oxidative and reductive tension, beeswax, dried apricot, white flowers, intense mineral salinity. Low-intervention, no added sulphur in some years. Age-worthy and singular.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Oxidative Macabeu character and salinity mirror preserved cod; romesco's almond-pepper richness echoes wine
• fish course: Gauby Blanc's complexity and mineral depth elevate the most luxurious flatfish with briny sea urchin
• cheese: Cross-regional affinity; oxidative white complements aged sheep's cheese while quince bridges the fruit character
