The 2021 Clos Floridene Blanc has an endearing, well-defined, quite floral bouquet of vibrant citrus fruit complemented by white flowers. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation, and quite tensile. A twist of sour lemon lends energy on the finish. Just a delicious dry white Bordeaux.

The 2021 Clos Floridène Blanc is terrific. Dried flowers, mint, lemon confit, pear and ginger are all laced together. This nuanced, layered dry white from the Dubourdieu family is impossible to resist. The 2021 is a gorgeous Clos Floridène Blanc.

Bright and lively in the glass, tangy and sharp but so well balanced with intensity yet softness, getting the liveliness and energy but also complexity of flavour - lemon, pineapple, apricot and peach - sharp, almost sour, so tangy and zesty in the glass just shining brightly. This is extremely aromatic and flavourful with a persistence that lasts the whole way through. I also like the really soft honeyed lemon touch that runs underneath the more overt acidity. A solid effort. Tasted twice.

Strength in diversity: Cheval Blanc

Saint-Emilion is arguably Bordeaux’s most idiosyncratic appellation. But, as Cheval Blanc’s Pierre-Olivier Clouet tells us, it’s the region’s heterogeneity that makes it so exciting. We caught up with the dynamic winemaker about how to define the undefinable – and why it’s determined to lead the appellation into a new era Saint-Emilion has always been difficult to define. Unlike other top ...
