The Chateau Gilette Creme de Tete 1967 is perhaps the wine that really convinced me how great this wine can be. It has the finest bouquet of several older vintages: tangerine, beeswax, pine needles and cumin, that opens wonderfully with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced with an allspice, dried orange peel, marmalade and white pepper. This is very harmonious and elegant with a long, tender finish not far removed from a Tokaji Aszu! Lovely. Drink now-2030+. Tasted March 2014. Jun 2014, www.robertparker.com

Ch. Gilette is a unique Sauternes estate, crafting sweet wines that are like no other – aged in concrete tank for 20 years prior to release. Rare and highly collectable, the wines rival those of Ch. d’Yquem.
