This wine has a beautiful transparent yellow color. The first nose is very pure, the cool month of August perfectly protected the aromatic potential. The full expression of Sauvignon Blanc on clay-limestone soil is present here exhaling notes of grapefruit and lime blossom. After stirring, always necessary for young wines, the nose develops in aromas around lemony citrus fruits. The attack is lively, full of freshness, in the mid-palate the wine evolves with the very interesting fat of the Semillon aged on lees and ends with a fresh and dense finish. This continues in the mouth with a remarkable length. Among the aromas of the mouth we again find the citrus fruits, like a candy, perceived on the nose as well as a delicacy that is both floral and fruity. 2021 is in keeping with the line of very fine white Bordeaux vintages .
65% Sauvignon, 35% Semillon. Fermenting and ageing in oak barrels (225 or 400L) and oak vats (30 or 50hL). 25% new oak - 10 months with lees stirring
Wine Enthusiast Review (Top 100 Cellar Selections, 2024 - #26):
This estate, particularly well known for its white wines, has lived up to its reputation in this new release. The wine is rich while also taut, young and textured. Spice from wood aging comes in at the end. Drink from 2026. -R.V.
