Médaille d'Or

Gilbert & Gaillard

The second vintage of the L’Ibis Blanc cuvée, this wine—fresh and lively thanks to the Ugni Blanc—displays true originality thanks to the addition of Grenache Blanc. A unique blend, it serves as an excellent introduction to the more ambitious Renard Blanc.

About the wine:

Light gold color. Aromas of ripe white fruit against a spicy, anise-like backdrop. Quite bitter on the palate, with a warm overall profile; the fruit has yet to fully express itself. An ibis that has not yet taken flight. Best enjoyed with fennel-seasoned sea bass.

Review and comment by Ms. CLIONA M. Published on 02/23/2020

This white wine is very different from what I'm used to. It has a dry and unusual aroma. I'm just getting used to French wines, since I've been in the Southern Hemisphere for a number of years.
