Gold Medal - Gilbert & Gaillard 2024

A new wine from an experienced producer who combines three essential elements - the florals, the exotic and the mineral. The final blend of small parcels captures the warmth of southern Burgundy with the elegance and finesse of the special terroir of Mâcon-Charnay-lès-Mâcon. Immediately appealing with good depth of flavour and underlying finesse that provides wonderful length and unfolding flavours - think of freshly cut hay and meadowsweet for the nose, crunchy greengages for the palate, and some candied peel / lemongrass for the final notes.

89/100 Gilbert et Gaillard - Beautiful clear, golden yellow. Fairly delicate nose accented by hazelnut and fresh butter. The palate displays lovely freshness, lots of grip and more of the same unmistakable Chardonnay aromas. Accessible, gratifying and very user-friendly.
