Score 90-92/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2016

The 2015 Clos Floridene is a very pretty, nuanced white. Almonds, dried flowers, mint and apricot notes are all pushed forward in this succulent, inviting wine from Denis and Florence Dubourdieu. The creamy, expressive finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. I very much admire the interplay of richness and tension.

The 2015 Clos Floridene Blanc from Denis and Florience Dubourdieu has a subtle but complex bouquet with scents of white peach, citrus fruit and a touch of patisserie. The palate is very well balanced and quite phenolic in the mouth, some lovely extract here imparting a slightly waxy texture. The acidity is keen and there is impressive tension and energy on the finish. It will drink young as usual, however, such is its complexity that I am more intrigued to discover how it will age. Do as you will.

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
