Tasting notes by Serge Dubs, World’s Best Sommelier 1989 :
It was a great pleasure to taste the Gentil 2018, such a wonderful year with a nice maturity and a healthy harvest of grapes that presented their flavour and character with purity and honesty.
For this very fine year, the Gentil has produced blends of Alsace grape varieties that are all young and dashing, pale yellow with the green highlights of lime tree foliage and primrose and that wonderful sparkle and crystalline youthful and alert sheen.
The bouquet is youthful and refreshing, spontaneously expressing an agreeable aroma of green apple, pear, lychee, passion fruit, rose and the lightest touch of muscat.
On the palate, it has a pleasant dryness, just enough to awaken the taste-buds and quench the thirst, smooth, soft and harmonious with the most elegant finish filled with harmony and a wonderful aromatic purity.
