Gold Medal - Gilbert et Gaillard 2025

Highly Commended in The Wine Merchant Top 100 2025 - Nice finish, nice balance, nice fruit - properly wow.

There's Merlot and there's Merlot and then there's this Merlot! Qiuite extraordinary for what it is with amazing depth of flavours without being over extracted. Deeply varietal nose of dark cherry-chocolate over crushed minerals with a leafy note. The palate is generously laden with dark plum and chocolate notes on a long, velveteen finish.
