Château Gilette

Château Gilette is a 4.5-hectare estate located in Preignac, within the Sauternes appellation, owned by the Médeville family since 1710. Now run by Julie Gonet-Médeville and her husband Xavier Gonet, this small cru stands out for a unique ageing method: the wines age 20 to 25 years in concrete vats before bottling, then another 3 to 5 years before release. This radical approach, initiated by René Médeville in the 1930s, gives the wines exceptional freshness and aromatic purity, far removed from the classic codes of Sauternes.

Château Gilette Crème de Tête 1996 is an outstanding Sauternes from a legendary estate in Preignac. Crafted from Sémillon (90%), Sauvignon Blanc (8%) and Muscadelle (2%), this sweet wine is distinguished by a unique ageing of nearly 20 years in concrete vats, with no oak contact whatsoever. The 1996 vintage ranks among the estate's finest achievements, offering a richer, more concentrated profile typical of classic Sauternes.
