If you like your white Bordeaux with lots of gunflinty, thiol characters, you’ll love this blend. Pithy, zesty, grapefruit and gooseberry notes are complemented by aromatic vanilla oak and a smoky finish. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2017-2025

A sure-value buy from the Kressmann family. Slightly sweet ripeness on the nose and a little soft on the palate compared to the 2014, even though there are lovely fruits on display. One third new oak, aged on the lees. Apr 2016, Jane Anson, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2017-2025

33% Sauvignon Blanc, 67% Sémillon, picked 28 August to 8 September. Floral, honeyed nose. Big but with sufficient acidity and race. Clearly lots of alcohol (more than 14.5%). Heat on the end. Big AND crisp! A bit harsher than La Clarté de Haut-Brion. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2022-2032
