Tasting notes
The 2021 Puyblanquet has a high-toned, floral bouquet with violet petals infusing the red berry fruit, hints of mandarin in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant sappiness on the entry, fine acidity and a minerally finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a solid effort in a tricky growing season

Currants, sliced chilis, dried flowers and orange peel on the nose. It’s creamy and nicely integrated with a medium body and fine, medium-firm tannins. Silky and pretty. Try from 2024.
Oaky and savoury on the nose. Softly fleshy, clean and mineral at the same time - a mixture of ripe and perhaps just-ripe fruit gives this both a sense of purity and linearity as well as fruit concentration and weight. Needs some more time to harmonise but I like the cool blue fruit touches and hints of flint on the end. Nice potential for ageing.
