Tasting notes
The 2015 Blanc de Lynch-Bages has a little bit of sulfides on the nose with struck match scents over a core of lemon curd, ripe pears and peach kernels with touches of dried herbs and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing with phenolic grip and a long, mineral finish.

Yoghurt, lemon curd, perhaps a hint of honey. Broad, soft, some mealy notes. Lovely cereal character to finish. The oak is really nicely integrated, giving a distinctive style without being intrusive. (RH)
Very pungent indeed. Almost New Zealand richness on the nose. Lots of depth though. Really racy. (JR)
A bright and flavorful white with sliced apple, pear and mango follow through to a full body, crisp acidity and lively finish. Lots of white peaches too. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
