GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard GOLD MEDAL: Elle à Table
Classic white Bordeaux blend of 62% Sauvignon Blanc, 38% Sémillon, the Chateau de Cathalogne 2022 has an attractive light golden colour with greenish reflections. On the nose the deep, intense aroma of the wine reveals notes of grapefruit, white peach and flowers. On the palate the wine has a soft, refreshing, rounded flavour with balanced acidity, citrus shades and harmonious aftertaste.
"Intensely aromatic nose of Granny Smith apple, nectarine and jasmine notes. Moving through to the palate the intensity lingers and balanced out with a lively crisp acidity with a long clean finish. It's one of those wines that makes you hungry!" – 92 Points, Wine Direct Tasting Team
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
