We’re very excited to introduce our newest brand, Domaine de Galuval from Rhône Valley is now in stock! Founded in 1923, Domaine de Galuval is one of the oldest winegrower-harvesters in Cairanne. The name ‘Galuval’ combines ‘gallus,’ which is Latin for rooster and symbolises pride, and ‘uva,’ which translates to grapes, referencing its old heritage and the symbolic importance of the Gallus.
Recently, the estate has decided to give a second life to the winery involving an overhaul of the wine range, new branding and labels, and transitioning to sustainable farming by becoming HVE certified with organic certification in the works.

The Wines
2022 Domaine Galuval ‘Le Coq Volant’ Rouge
The 2022 Coq Volant Rouge is a deep red with purple highlights. It reveals a nose with aromas of violet (Syrah) and red fruits (Grenache) underlined by the elegance of the oak. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and fresh, with a beautiful length supported by flavours of black fruits, spices and silky tannins.
2021 Domaine Galuval ‘Le Coq Volant’ Blanc
The colour is golden yellow with green highlights. The nose develops complex aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle and linden. The palate is elegant and airy, opening with a beautiful, round attack, a fruity palate and sustained freshness. A delicate signature that is unexpected for the region.
2020 Domaine Galuval Cairanne ‘La Montagne’
A garnet red colour with purple highlights dresses this Cairanne. The nose invited conviviality, with its fruit and gourmet side. We find Syrah with its notes of fresh morello cherry and Grenache with its aromas of strawberry and raspberry. The palate reveals an elegant and structured wine on small red fruits.
2019 Domaine Galuval Cairanne ‘La Vallee’ Blanc
Golden highlights adorn the beautiful pale yellow colour of this vintage. The nose is typical of Roussanne, with notes of honeysuckle and iris, and the white Grenache brings notes of fennel and white peach. Upon tasting, the richness and complexity of the aromas are immediately evident. The palate is full-bodied and supported by subtle barrel aging. It reveals notes of fresh walnuts with a finish of elegant aromas of honey and elderflower.
2020 Domaine Galuval Rasteau ‘Les Collins’
With a purplish-red colour, this opulent wine reveals a beautiful concentration, with notes of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, enhanced by a toasted and smoky finish due to the complementarity of the Mourvèdre and the barrel. On the palate, we discover a full and complex profile, marked by blackcurrant and garrigue spices. We also find aromas of black olive.
2019 Domaine Galuval ‘La Clavelle No.8’ Grenache Blanc
The color has extremely pale hues, with almond green reflections. On the nose, we find aromas of fresh almonds as well as small honeyed notes. A tension and minerality reinforce this aromatic. The palate reveals a surprising breadth and solarity for a Grenache, while retaining a certain smoothness and finishing with a beautiful length.
2019 Domaine Galuval ‘Noir Ventabren’ Caladoc
The intensely deep, almost black color inspired its name. The initial nose is marked by a minty, slightly eucalyptus expression. Notes of small black berries, blackcurrant, and blackberries complete this olfactory palette. On the palate, it is explosive and opulent. The richness and power of this wine are channeled with elegance and freshness by the wood. We find all the power and creamy black fruit of a Caladoc aged without compromise.
2020 Domaine Galuval ‘Le Carre du Coq’ Syrah
The color is deep ruby, evoking a fruity and serious promise. The initial nose is marked by violet, black fruit, and some menthol notes. We can sense the support of a well-balanced maturation process that serves the fruit. On the palate, straightforwardness and seriousness open the ball, followed by tannins that are both fine and creamy. The balance between acidity and sweetness is superb.
