The 2024 Rahoul Blanc has an understated, mineral-led bouquet that gains intensity in the glass, though it may lack the vigor of the best white Graves. The palate is better, with a crisp entry and lime and Williams pear notes at its core, offering satisfying weight on the finish.
A well-made, fresh and pretty flavorful white, showing lemons, meringue and some quince peel on the nose. This has medium body and vibrant, medium-high acidity. Lively and textured with a supple finish. A blend of 66% semillon and 34% sauvignon blanc.
