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
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
