What is Domaine Gayda? • Domaine Gayda is….. the Spirit of the Languedoc • Domaine Gayda is arguably the most innovative wine operation in the Languedoc combining the best of the Old World terroir and traditions with New World techniques. • Domaine Gayda is passionate about seeking out the best parcels of vines, the best climates and the best growers – together the best terroir – and using ultra-modern facilities and techniques to create superb wines without being overly restrained by appellation restrictions. In addition to 18 ha of vineyards in Brugairolles and the famous La Liviniere region of Minervois, we have long term relationships with a series of growers in the most interesting parts of the Languedoc who have been selected for the quality and age of their vines and the rigor and knowledge that they bring to their viniculture. • The approach to viniculture is to intervene as little as possible to allow the vineyards to fully express their potential. All the grapes for the estate wines are hand-harvested and carefully selected both in the vineyard and in the winery, refrigerated trucks are used to move the fruit from the vineyard to the winery, fruit movement within the winery is gentle and kept to a minimum and the wines are filtered as little as possible to retain maximum intensity. • The winery and all the equipment in it are brand new. Quality control, rigor, attention to detail and traceability are second to none and the flexibility and customer focus of all the personnel truly set Domaine Gayda apart.
