Médaille d'Or

Gilbert & Gaillard

“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 delightful. Still somewhat closed aromatically, it will undoubtedly open up in time.” (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

About the estate:

Having established themselves on 35 hectares beginning in 1987, Étienne Boileau, William Nahan, and Christian Simon have made this estate 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.
