Médaille d'Or

Gilbert & Gaillard

This Bordeaux offers a nose of delicious aromas of red fruits (crushed strawberry, blackcurrant), dark fruits (blackberry, black cherry), and licorice, against a slightly spicy and vanilla-scented backdrop. On the palate, the richness of the overripe grapes envelops dense, refined tannins. The freshness and fruitiness carry through to a lingering finish...

About the estate:

A vast 92-hectare estate in the Entre-deux-Mers region, founded in 1920 by the great-grandparents. Its strengths include a state-of-the-art winery completed in 2016 and the complementary expertise of Christophe Vincent (in the vineyards) and Fabien (in the winemaking facility). It is said that Saint-Vincent inspires them, but it is really their advanced technical training and high standards that make this estate a benchmark for Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur wines.

Wine rated (2017 guide) Gold Medal

About the wine:

Intense, youthful color with violet hues. Subtle nose with notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, and morello cherry. A supple attack, followed by a fresh palate with a silky, generous, full-bodied texture, featuring lovely, cheerful, and delicious aromas; the finish has a vegetal note that’s still slightly disjointed, but overall it’s a successful wine.
