Great mix of fruitiness and minerality. Tangerine, lemon, peach, grapefruit, fig, honeysuckle, and touches of quartz, chalk, and chamomile. Juicy, plump, and plenty of racy acid.

Intense greenish yellow. Powerful aromas of honey, sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla), expressive citrus, black currant leaf, mineral notes. High acidity. Creamy with some density and good structure on the palate. Blend: Sauvignon 55%, Sémillon 44%, Muscadelle 1%.
Fermentation in barrels renewed by quarter. Ageing 8 mo on lees. Terroir of Pujols sur Ciron is much like "Barsac red sands". Clos Floridène is 1 of 5 Bordeaux estates owned by oenologist Denis Dubourdieu and his family. Known for its dry white wines, a specialty of Denis Dubourdieu, who is also the director of the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences at the University of Bordeaux, and who has been attributed with an increase in the quality of dry Bordeaux blanc. Rating 3,8/5

Цедра лимона, желтый грейпфрут, ананас, смородиновый лист, легкая дымность, немного сливочного масла, выраженная минеральность, заигрывание с бензольными тонами, морское солоноватое послевкусие. Среднее, но увесистое тело; стремление к объёму, поддерживаемое хорошей структурой; ещё немного молодо и только начинает искать внутреннюю гармонию.
