31 October 2010: A white Bordeaux from the right bank. Relatively small production of 9,000 bottles. A blend of approximately 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Gris. Bright golden hue. Though still very youthful on the nose, already presenting a complexity of honey, lanolin, marzipan, complemented by tropical fruit notes of melon, tinned pineapple and mango. A rich style wine offering weight, ripe fruit, firm acidity and complexity. The high alcohol level (14%) is sticking out a bit but perhaps it will resolve itself over time!! 16.5/20
