Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1971 Chateau Gilette Creme de Tete has a slightly muffled nose at first, but it begins to clear with rigorous aeration. It eventually reveals scents of dried honey, dried white flowers, a touch of curry powder and marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly viscous entry, nicely balanced with orange rind and spice. This is nicely focused, with just the right amount of nuttiness to leave a dry taste that begs another sip. This is a fine 1971, although the 1967 is better. Drink now-2020+. Tasted March 2014.

Château Château Gilette
Château Gilette

Château Gilette is a Bordeaux wine estate. A 4.5-hectare property located in the heart of the village of Preignac. Château Gilette is a small Sauternes cru legendary for its old vintages. In the Sauternes appellation, it exclusively produces sweet white wines described as being the fruitiest in the Sauternes region. The grape varieties harvested there are Sémillon (90%), Sauvignon blanc (8%) and Muscadelle (2%). The harvest is done manually and the vines are approximately 40 years old.

The best vintages of Château Gilette are 1929, the 1959 vintage, the 1967 wines, 1987 crus and the 1989 vintage. Finally, the 1990 vintage is particularly excellent.
