“Ainda uma criança.... Um conjunto perfeito, nariz, boca. Bela acidez. Para quem quer conhecer verdadeira essência dos vinhos doces, neste caso Sauternes.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This light copper colored wine offered apricots, honeyed orange rind, sweet tropical and apricot flavors, soft, rich textures and a fully mature, pineapple, orange and citrus finish. There is ample sweetness and freshness. I did not know it at the time, but this was my last bottle. Gilette is an interesting Sauternes as it does not see ageing in oak. It's aged in cement vats for 20-25 years before bottling, so you do not find the typical, vanilla or custard sensations that are found in most sweet Bordeaux wines.
Château Gilette Sauternes (Crème de Tête) is a French dessert wine from ソーテルヌ. The blend is Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion. It sits in the $120-and-up band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $346.
