Pretty impressive don\u2019t you think!<\/p>\n<p>The Gilbert &amp; Gaillard International Challenge tastes and awards more than 10 000 wines per year. Blind tastings are done quarterly by a French tasting panel, chaired by Philippe Gaillard, Francois Gilbert and Sylvain Patard. So \u2026 to be awarded double gold is a huge achievement.<\/p>\n<p>The Kaaimansgat Blanc de Blancs 2016 was inspired by the grower Champagne movement in France and is a terroir-driven Blanc de Blancs made in a natural style in small batches. Sculpted by the vintage, it expresses the distinctive character of the high altitude Kaaimansgat vineyard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yellow straw. Sour dough, biscotti and a hint of smoky toast.
