Gooseberry, clove and grapefruit nose with lemon peel and nano peach slivers. Pear and pineapple afterthoughts. Pithy entry of undulating weight, lemon lime and grapefruit, a chalkiness ensues, briny and a touch of angelica.

Vintage 2014 / phieuwww, the wine surprises me. A smell with fennel and cellery, lime zest. Buttery also. Taste with passion fruit, papaya. A wine with layers of taste. #bordeauxblanc — 6 years ago
A less well-known varietal from the famous producer in #napa . 100% #sauvignonnlanc echoes a well-balanced #bordeauxblanc but with a notable Napa sun-kissed vitality. Subtle tropical fruit + apricot, citrus aromas - sumptuous palate texture, white/golden fruit balanced by satisfying acidity. Excellent pairing for a lightly-spiced shrimp coconut curry rice bowl though not great QPR. — 2 years ago
Interesting 100% #sauvignongris #bordeauxblanc. Mix of grassy notes and tropical fruit on the nose; slightly oily texture on the tongue with an effervescent-like zing at the same time. A teensy bit of green apple and loads of white/yellow citrus up-front and grapefruit pith bitterness linger on a long finish. This one paired nicely with pan-seared barramundi with a lemon and dill pollen marinade. ***Update: After a week in the fridge it’s actually even better as the zing has gone away and the bitterness has mellowed out. Simply lovely wine. #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago
Crisp #bordeauxblanc but quite a but of acidity and not a lot of character. Still it would pair most excellently with shellfish or a clean white fish. — 7 years ago
Salinity, oyster shell, orange essence, lemon verging on drawn butter, beeswax, white roses and hydrangea. Near creamy finish, but pith-large and drying grapefruit reel any inkling in.

Purely refreshing #bordeauxblanc - floral, tart citrus nose - light+ body, lovely piquant structure, crisp finish. This is be begging for a fresh oyster pairing. Excellent QPR for ~$11 at Costco. — 3 years ago
Here’s a #bordeauxblanc comprising % 75/15/10 #semillon #sauvignonblanc #muscadelle . It’s a splendid blend with fresh citrus and white orchard fruit, some tropical and a touch of mineral notes. #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago
Vintage 2015 - white cuvée made of sauvignon and semillon, beautiful smell of pears, citrus, melon, good tension with enough acidity and citrus coming back. Ideal lunchewine, very good to get the 'spring' feeling. Very well made, unbeatable p/q #sauvignon #semillon #bordeauxblanc #lunchwine #hapinness — 8 years ago
