Tasting notes
Very tangy and fresh, with lots of thyme and gooseberry notes followed by lemon pith and quinine accents. A rapier finish glistens with fleur de sel details. Shows ample cut and purity. Pitch-perfect Sauvignon Blanc. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Typically impressive blend from Denis Dubourdieu, Bordeaux’s leading white wine expert. Pithy and smoky, with tangy grapefruit and fresh herbs on the palate sustained by acidity and embellished by oak. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2016-2020
One of the great whites of Bordeaux, and in 2015 the lower acidity of the vintage is reflected in the dominance of forward, exotic apricot, nectarine and juicy peach fruit. This is a vintage that will attract many people who might feel Bordeaux white is normally too sharp; here it delivers freshness with a rounded edge.
