2020 Domaine Gayda Chemin de Moscou 6 bottles case

The 2020 Chemin de Moscou from Domaine Gayda is a signature cuvée from one of the most dynamic estates in the Languedoc. Founded in 2004, Domaine Gayda combines traditional French craftsmanship with a modern, adventurous spirit, producing wines that reflect both terroir and innovation. The wine takes its name from the “Chemin de Moscou” road leading to the domaine, a historic path lined with plane trees and once used by horse-drawn carriages carrying harvests through the region.

The 2020 vintage is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault, sourced from old vines rooted in schist, clay, and limestone soils at varying altitudes across the Languedoc. Each parcel was harvested by hand, vinified separately, and aged in a combination of French oak barrels and concrete, allowing both depth and freshness to shine through.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby colour and an expressive bouquet of black cherry, ripe blackberry, and plum, enriched by floral hints of violet and wild herbs. Secondary and tertiary notes of pepper, cocoa, licorice, leather, and garrigue spice emerge with air, adding layers of complexity. On the palate, it is generous and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish that speaks of its Mediterranean origins.

Widely acclaimed by critics as one of the benchmark wines of the Languedoc, the 2020 Chemin de Moscou offers both immediate drinking pleasure and the ability to age gracefully for a decade. It is a wine that embodies the authenticity, character, and modern elegance of southern France, making it an outstanding choice for both collectors and adventurous wine lovers.
