2014 Clos Floridene Blanc | FINE+RARE Wines

Average Score

Critic Notes

Score: 17-/20Decanter

Very pure, with chiseled lime, mâche and lemon curd notes, showing a flash of white asparagus on the finish. Still tight, but the solid length bodes well.—J.M. Wine Spectator, April 2015.

Score: 88-91/100Wine Spectator

The Clos Floridene Blanc 2014 has a very composed nose in the making. This is keeping everything back, but there is appreciable delineation with citrus peel, white peach and apple peel aromas. The palate is crisp and fresh with good acidity, just a little rasping on the finish but there is commendable length and a sense of energy here. This will probably represent great value.
