Dessert Wine: 1975 | Chateau Gilette | Creme de Tete Sauternes
Dark amber. The nose is a dream, figs, quince, nuts, even rose petals, very complex and constantly changing. On the palate, mature, but not tired, what a delicate bundle of fruit, the sweetness is balanced with a fine acid structure, the wine has elegance, shows no stickiness, on the contrary, dance-like light and with a lot of length on the finish.

Producer InformationGonet-Médeville is a family-run wine producer based in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux and spanning into Champagne. The Médeville family has a long-standing tradition of winemaking in this appellation and today the family holds two Sauternes estates, as well as several others in Bordeaux and Champagne. The Médeville familly has its origins in Cadillac-sur-Garonne, on the right bank of the Garonne river (roughly opposite Sauternes), in the appellations of Cadillac and Loupiac. However, with the marriage of Numa Médeville to Marie Despujols (who had inherited the Château Gilette estate and the neighboring Les Justices site, which had been in her family since 1710), the Médeville family branched out into Sauternes in the 19th Century. The Médevilles nonetheless remained in Cadillac for almost three generations, and were still operating Gilette from the other side of the river in the early 20th Century. Numa's grandson, René only moved to Preignac in the late 1930s. René Médeville established the Gilette tradition of aging the grand vin in concrete cuves for between 15 and 20 years prior to bottling and release. The château â and the wider Médeville properties which includes Château Réspide-Médeville in the Graves â is run by husband-and-wife team Julie and Xavier Gonet-Medeville. Xavier Gonet hails from Champagne and his portion of family vineyards comprises the Champagne branch of the Gonet-Medeville holdings.
