| The 2018 Blanc is composed of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon and was matured in 7% new barriques (13.88% alcohol). It opens very slowly, with a lot of coaxing, to reveal fragrant scents of lime blossoms, yellow apples and fresh grapefruit plus hints of crushed rocks, straw and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has a beautiful satiny texture and fantastically intense citrus and apple layers with loads of mineral and herbal sparks on the long finish. |
Profile:
A racy quinine note cuts through a mix of peach, white ginger, green almond and pink grapefruit notes. Tangy, vivacious finish has an echo of sel gris. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
