Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

#UGC12

17/20 (92/100)

Happy national white wine day to all. As if any of us needed a reason to drink a white wine today, this is as solid a reason as any! Nose of honeysuckle and lemon meringue. Entry that has a bit of acidity, rather vibrant, honeysuckle and a touch of Asian pear. White pepper finish with some gravelly texture. Definitely gonna see if I can find more of these!

Tropical fruit, wet stones, beeswax & acacia flower

Nice vintage for this wine. Orchid fruits & white flower with good structure & acidity.

When in the 50's, this wine is thick and actually seems to be quite sweet. Honey and melon. Mango. Honeydew. Dare I say it really begged to be decanted! After 15 minutes and closer to room temp, this wine turns into a beauty. Honey, butter, and melon nose. Honeysuckle, melon, buttered toast on the entry. Enough acidity but still rounded. The middle is stone ground. Finish is higher acidity. Continued to develop as the wine opened, but unfortunately this one was gone before I think it had a chance to fully express. Yes, next time I certainly plan to DECANT this wine. Beautiful wine but I feel as though I missed out on a LOT.

Beautiful Bordeaux blanc, Rich & full bodied with acacia flower, honey & beeswax.

Overpricrd! But at 75$ a lovely white Bordeaux

Gordon shared with us at OTBN. A nice treat but this is still very young. A little one dimensional...needs some time.

Rich oak, glycerin, citrus, well balanced.
