A rich and waxy Bordeaux blend white with sauvignon blanc, muscadelle and semillon. Lots of tropical fruit with mangoes, pineapple and cooked apple character. Oily too, with buttered brioche. JS
This sits on a reductive edge, so give it some good air. It flexes into a minerally, wet-stony mode and has aromas of pear blossom, sliced apple, grassy elements, sliced cucumber and lemon pith. The palate has a very sleek, contained and linear shape with quite intense green-apple and green-pear flavors. Some grassy notes, too. Concentrated and pinned in tight with vibrant acidity. JS

This is a ripe vintage with concentration and intensity, showing aromas of lemon, lime and peach with a subtle, savory thread. The texture is seamless, with plenty of intense lemon, peach and stone-fruit flavors, finishing fresh. A blend of semillon, sauvignon blanc and muscadelle. JS
