One of St Desir's pair of well-priced Golds is this evocative Sauvignon Blanc, with its guava and passion fruit-infused flavours and zippy sub-structure.

'Green grassy aromas with notes of nettle and cucumber, crisp and zesty with citrusy fruit on the palate,' said team leader Andrea Briccarello, with Chantal Serrano of The Cinnamon Club agreeing, finding it 'aromatic, fresh and medium length'.

A lovely example of an oaked southern white, and one half of a red-and-white Gold pair for Gérard Bertrand, showing elegance with a broad mineral structure. Roger Jones of The Harrow at Little Bedwyn summarised the views: 'Lovely aromas – it smells expensive! – beeswax-textured, honeyed and spiced, this is long and fabulous, like a classic white Bordeaux. The flavours sit an age on the palate.'

A typically creative southern French blend – Vermentino with Sauvignon Blanc – intrigued our judges. Team leader Martin Lam was struck by its 'evolved, wild, complex and engaging style', while Stefan Kobald of Social Wine & Tapas found 'petrolly, honeyed apple freshness, mineral complexity with a long, buttery finish', and Roger Jones of The Harrow at Little Bedwyn called it 'perfectly balanced, fabulous', with its 'silky, layered nature', and 'perfectly ripe stone fruit balanced with wild flowers and delicate herbs'.
