Awarding a Gold medal for this great value Chardonnay, team leader Laura Rhys MS said, ‘This has nice complexity for the price.’ It was a sentiment shared by many on the panel. Claire Love of Loves Consultancy praised the balance between ‘spicy, creamy oak’ and the ‘vibrant lemon and floral notes’. ‘The subtle crème brûlée oak notes give texture,’ said Street XO’s Raphael Thierry, ‘but the ripe stone fruits finish fresh.’

This impressive ‘aperitif wine, juicy and soft, with red fruits’, according to team leader Laura Rhys MS, took home not only a Gold medal, but a pair of awards, too. Lucie Kalertova of Caprice Holdings - Sexy Fish singled out its ‘candied strawberry notes on the nose’, while Gymkhana Restaurant’s Valentin Radosav also admired its ‘perfumed, strawberry aromas and elegantly pale colour’, which led to some ‘balanced acidity, as well as floral and red fruit flavours, with a lovely texture and a ripe finish’.
£6.60 Boutinot
For team leader Angela Reddin this Gold medal winner offered ‘lots of soft squashy summer berries, refreshing acidity and a very soft, gentle finish’.
