FINE+RARE, Mar 2021

This three-bottle case contains one bottle (75cl) each of the 1979, 1988 and 1990 vintages of Ch. Gilette, offering the chance to explore the evolution of this remarkable cement-aged Sauternes. These unique wines are incredibly age-worthy and complex. James Molesworth (the Wine Spectator) describes the 1990 as “a jaw-dropper”, while the 1988 is “remarkably subtle” and the 1979 has “stunning range and length”. The wines are sourced directly from the estate itself (ex-château 2022) and presented in a wooden case.
