Médaille d'Or

Gilbert & Gaillard

“A beautiful deep ruby color with a youthful appearance. A pleasant, floral, and fruity nose that is very inviting. On the palate, it has a fresh, velvety, and full-bodied attack, with crisp fruit and subtle oak notes in the background. A lovely, lingering toasty finish. (Gilbert et Gaillard)”
