Château Gilette Crème de Tête 1988 (case of 6 bot.)

Tasting notes

"This is layered and remarkably subtle, with notes of lemon cream, chamomile, persimmon, quinine, heather honey, glazed peach and honeysuckle all moving seamlessly together through the long, pure finish. There's plenty of depth, but this stays very light on its feet. Beautiful. Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made. "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

“Gilette is one of the finest-made wines in Sauternes despite the fact that Gilette was not classified. The vineyard, situated several miles north of Yquem, is planted on sandy soil with a subsoil of rock and clay. However, what is bizarre and unbelievable in today’s harsh world of commercial realities is that Gilette’s proprietor, Christian Médeville, holds his sweet wines for over 20 years in concrete vats prior to bottling them. For example, he bottled the 1955 in 1984, 29 years after the vintage. The fact that his wines are excellent and have a honeyed maturity has caused some of France’s leading restauranteurs (like Pierre Troisgros) to beat a path to his door to purchase his old vintages of Sauternes.”
