Bordeaux Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

5/8/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 points

Pineapple, lemon curd, orange rind, and floral nuances open the nose, and get the palate going. The wine is sweet, and creamy on the mid-palate and finish. You can enjoy this with pleasure on release. Drink from 2024-2028. 91-91 Pts.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Red fruit cordial, plummy notes, plentiful oaky spice. Juicy with lashings of oaky tannins dominating proceedings. It's a bit much for the poor fruit. Nah

Smoky red fruits, espresso beans, flowers, and spice blend perfectly on the nose and palate. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, forward, and easy to drink, with all of its soft-textured, red fruits, smoke, spice, and touch of cocoa that you find on the backend. You can drink this on release while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. The wine blends 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2032. 91-93 Pts.

94 vvPunkte / Noble Nase, feine Röstnoten, Tabak, süsse Gewürze, Leder, dahinter viel dunkle Frucht. Im Gaumen druckvoll, opulent, ein Mund voll Wein, sehr viel Frucht, viel Tannin, die Gerbstoffe sind sehr markant, das Holz dominiert nicht, der Wein zeigt eine gute Länge und viel Würze. Gut, jedoch nicht gross dieses Jahr. 2030-2055 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / Syndicat Viticole de Pessac-Léognan / Château La Garde ) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Black hued fruits show berry and currant, a little plum in support, baking spices, touch of pyrazine and earthiness lends complexity. Juicy tending to medium plus intensity acidity, dark hued fruits, slightly coarse tannins are relatively controlled. All travels long and is in harmony. Good

Dark, almost opaque in color, the wine grabs your attention with its showy display of flowers, cinnamon, chocolate, spice, tobacco, blackberries, and black cherries in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is rich, lush, sweet, deep, and intense. There is a wealth of flavor in the black cherries, white pepper, dark chocolate, and espresso on the palate. The endnote sticks for almost 50 seconds, delivering a peppery, orange rind, refreshing note in the finish. The wine blends 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest took place September 7 - September 28. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2026-2055. 96-98 Pts.

Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Since 2016, Pape Clement went back in the direction of elegance after a decade of Parkerization. The 2022 shows this in comparison to the 2010. Full-bodied yes, there seems to be a lot of Merlot in it, but not excessive, good freshness. Aromatically still very restrained and therefore difficult to assess. 94+

95 vvPunkte / Die Nase ist etwas verhaltener als beim Domaine de Chevalier, Pfirischnoten, zitrische Aromen, auch etwas Nussiges schwingt mit. Der Gaumen ist reichhaltig, rund, viel Schmelz, dichter Fruchtkern, baut im mittleren Gaumen aus und zieht sich im Abgang lange hinaus, endet auf Grapefruit und hinterlässt ein salziges Mundgefühl. Ausgezeichnet. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / Syndicat Viticole de Pessac-Léognan / Château La Garde ) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

Mint, white peach, green apples, and pear aromatics open the perfume.

The wine blends 63% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon and 2% Muscadelle. Picking took place August 28 - September 2. Drink from 2025-2035. 95-95 Pts.

Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: A bit riper than the 2016, which makes it more charming at first, but not equally fresh and mineralic on the finish. I preferred the 2016 today.

Smoke, espresso and a touch of spice accompany the red berry filled nose. The palate is light, sweet and fresh, with a coffee note that accompanies the cherries in the finish. This is already easy to enjoy, so pop a cork when you see a bottle. Drink from 2023-2030.

Pumpkin spice, flowers, tart green apples, lemon meringue, white peach and a touch of pineapple create the nose. Fresh, bright, creamy, lush and packed with sweet, racy, yellow citrus with just a dab of honey, the wine is perfectly poised between its crispness and opulent sides.

Im Gaumen mit Schmelz, einer feinen Cremigkeit und viel Frische, die knackige Frucht wird von einer top Säure getragen, sehr gute Struktur, viel Eleganz, hier ist alles an seinem Platz.

Bordeaux 2021 Arrivage Tasting (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Floral top notes on a gooseberry and tangerine bed. Also lemon curd and a nice spicy uplift. Cool rock minerality. The palate is nicely structured, but lacks a tad mid-palate presence and the acidity did not feel as crisp as with SHL Blanc in this vintage.

1/2/2024 - Michael Mackenzie Does not like this wine: NR

Tasted at UGC London Tasting 8/11/23.
70% SB, 30% Sem.
This used only to be made for the former owners. This wine should be kept for the new owners only.
V disappointing, notably like other 2021 dry whites, because of the poor finish.

Highly aromatically expressive, layers and layers of every citrus fruit I could think of. Linear, crisp, and phenolic, I might have guessed there was even more SB in this. Would be interesting to follow but if you like a punch white it might be hard to not just drink it all.

UGC 2021 Bordeaux (Vibiana, Los Angeles, CA): The nose is bright and aromatic with fragrant tones of stone fruits, lemon peels, green apples, peaches, nectarines, white fruits, grassy notes, gooseberry, and some acacia flowers. There is excellent depth and style here as the nose shows off a lot of class yet it still feels like it's slightly holding back. The Medium bodied feel is well balanced and fresh with crisp, medium+ acidity that really brings a mouthwatering quality. This has plenty of room for improvement as the acidity has a bit of sting and the nose doesn't feel close to full flight. I would love to see where this goes with about 5+ years of aging.
