Château Gilbert & Gaillard Blanc
AOP Saint-Chinian · Vintage 2021
Organic farming
Brilliant pale yellow with light golden highlights. On the nose, this wine shows notes of white flowers, grapefruit and exotic fruit. The palate, poised between tension and roundness, displays fine balance, subtly refined by barrel ageing. This white wine is just as enjoyable as an aperitif as with a meal.

Ageing: the Grenache Blanc spends 6 months in barrel.
