Médaille d'Or

Gilbert & Gaillard

“Light yellow color. A reserved nose that, upon aeration, reveals subtle notes of honey and white fruit. Full-bodied yet lively on the palate, with a youthful vigor that is delightful. Still somewhat closed aromatically, it will undoubtedly open up in time.” (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

About the estate:

Since 1987, Étienne Boileau, William Nahan, and Christian Simon have been cultivating 35 hectares of vineyards, turning this estate into one of the most reliable names in the Chablis wine region. In 2019, they handed the reins over to Arnaud Nahan, William’s son, and his business partner Thomas Labille.

About the wine:

Light yellow color. A reserved nose that, upon aeration, reveals subtle notes of honey and white fruits. Full-bodied yet lively on the palate, with a youthful vigor that is particularly appealing. Still somewhat closed aromatically, it will undoubtedly open up in time.
