A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon aging in French oak barriques, 8% new, the 2019 Blanc is all limes and lemons to begin, soon opening out to reveal nuances of peach blossoms, wet pebbles, green apples and struck match with a touch of coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with citrusy flavors, possessing impressive weight and creamy texture, finishing with loads of mineral layers and bags of freshness.
This is incredibly long and refined with a compact structure and beautiful tension. It goes on and on. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and energetic. Lovely bitterness and brightness. Lemons, stones and limes. Flint, too. The grapes were harvested at three different moments. It’s beautifully constructed.
Light yellow-green, silver highlights. Some caramel, mango, apricot, delicate nuances of meadow herbs, delicate woody spice, underlain by a mineral-citrus touch. Elegant texture, white fruit, subtle sweetness, some pineapple, well-integrated woody components, still very restrained, has power and length, a complex food companion with ageing potential.
Showcases both plump and racy aspects, with verbena and tarragon notes infusing a core of white peach, star fruit and jicama. The long finish has nice clarity. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
