  $15.99 retail, after discount. Opened next to the '02 Domaine Olivier Pithon Cotes du Roussillon "Cuvee Lais" (see TN). The Gauby was the clear winner, for less $$. The Gauby was a fairly ripe white, yet possessing impressive freshness. Blind, I would have guessed Viognier. In fact, I'm still not sure what's in it... A bit blowsy, with nice, slightly perfumey floral and tropical fruit notes. No noticeable new oak influence - which was not the case with the Pithon white (see TN). Very nice, and a solid value. Drink young.
