Mid yellow/pale gold in colour. Yellow fruits, tropical - notes of pineapple. On the palate, same notes - medium plus intensity. Oak, which was obvious 8 years ago is now totally integrated. Finishes dry. An overused descriptor but this is delicious. Good white Bordeaux is a delight. 70% Sauvignon Blanc; 30% Semillon.

Nez de sauvignon, buis, floral, fruits jaunes, ananas, sans être très tendu, il y a juste assez d’acidité pour supporter le tout, très bien et fait changement de boire du Bordeaux blanc. 90-91

Sauvignon nose, floral, pineapple, yellow fruit, just enough acidity to support the richness, nice.

Pale yellow in color. Lemon cake on the nose which carries over to the palate along with stone fruit, orange peel, and some interesting salinity. The mouthfeel is ultra-sleek with a slight note of petrol. The acidity is mouthwatering and the finish is outstanding. Stepping out of my comfort zone tonight with a white Bordeaux and I was not disappointed. A beautiful wine. I paired it with blackened scallops and lobster risotto and it was outstanding.

A splendid wine. Smooth and the perfect tonic to self-isolation.
