L'avis des experts
Green papaya, pomelo, cream, flint and hints of wax on the nose. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture. Concentrated and refined with seamless layers, leading to a long, mineral finish. The phenols with fruit and acidity are a formidable combination. Keeps going. Try from 2022.
The 2018 Blanc is composed of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Sémillon and was matured in 7% new barriques (13.88% alcohol). It opens very slowly, with a lot of coaxing, to reveal fragrant scents of lime blossoms, yellow apples and fresh grapefruit plus hints of crushed rocks, straw and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has a beautiful satiny texture and fantastically intense citrus and apple layers with loads of mineral and herbal sparks on the long finish. Give it a good couple of years in bottle to open up, and drink it over the following 10 to 12 years or more. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
This is rich and textured, and a brilliant white wine, juicy and powerful, with tension, minerality and grip through the finish. Excellent and, for me, proof that over the past few years they have refound a focus and personality for their white, which is less heavy than it was for a couple of years. It has opulence and sexiness but it still maintains its reserve and flint, with juicy lime blossom on the finish. (Jane Anson)
Bright yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine tangerine segments, white peach, a hint of lime, elegant, fresh, fine white pear, subtle honeydew melon, mineral and persistent, delicately salty on the finish.
