A sleeper of the vintage from this estate best known for its exquisite Sauternes, this dry, crisp, white Bordeaux is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. Beautiful notes of beeswax, honeysuckle, lemon oil intertwined with hints of pineapple and orange rind are found in this medium-bodied, lusciously fruity, zesty dry white. Moreover, it is available for a remarkably fair price. Enjoy it over the next 1-3 years. Feb 2012, www.robertparker.com

Wine was a natural, simple product: grapes that were pressed and fermented – a true expression of the terroir and the creator’s expertise. But does tradition make better wine?
