Rare wine : Château Gilette 1990 - Crème de tête
Sauternes
95/100 Parker
Drinking window: 2024–2054
"The 1990 Crème de Tête reveals an aromatic palette of great complexity that remains surprisingly youthful, evoking notes of ripe orchard fruits, pineapple, apricot, flowers, and spices, all interwoven with a hint of minty freshness. Medium- to full-bodied, dense, and concentrated—yet never heavy—this wine is multidimensional and fresh, possessing a crystalline texture enriched by nuances of white truffle and fennel. Unlike many Sauternes, which are often characterized by intense concentration and a generous, fleshy quality, this wine retains a taut character with delicate phenolic notes, leading to a perfectly balanced finish marked by hints of iodine and salinity." — Yohan Castaing, 2024
