Médaille d'Or
Gilbert & Gaillard
"Deep garnet-red color. Woody vanilla nose with a background of fresh red and black fruit. Supple, well-balanced on the palate, with a pleasant combination of aged and fruity aromas. A coherent, modern wine, still tannic. A little ageing for the best results". (Le Guide des Vins 2014 - Gilbert & Gaillard)
