6/17/2023 - Cacio Pepe Likes this wine: 92 points

Salted butter, shortbread cookies, honey, lemon, rocky minerals, waxy apple. Rich and powerful, more mineral on the palate than fruit, like licking a wet stone. Oily in texture, a real creaminess, better once it warms up slightly. This is one for lovers of wine that are not overtly fruity in style.
This one needs some time in the cellar, maybe open in a couple more years.
Not usually in the habit of opening white Bordeaux before 5 years of their vintage date, just got a little over zealous when this vintage came in to see how the heat in 2020 effected the whites.

Perfectly enjoyable. Lots of fruit. Great Pessac plumpness. Not the most complicated but was surprised how much pleasure it gave for price.

This has improved quite a bit over time, now showing more sweetness and secondary notes. Mainly red-fruit driven. Good value.

Blend of Sauvignon Blanc (70%) and Semillon (30%). Dark golden color. Beautiful aromas of pear, white flowers, sweet spices and freshly baked shortbread. Lively palate of unripe peach, lemon, apple, minerals and salted caramel. Medium-plus body and beautifully balanced. Creamy texture and a long and luxurious finish.

3/16/2024 - DanyMorcos Likes this wine: 93 points

Nose of apricots, flat white peaches, elderflower, whip cream, gooseberry, shaved almonds, carambar and dusty sucre vanillé. Cantaloupe and chamomile 1h in.

Palate is nicely textured and length is decent. Minerality comes through true and defined.

If tested blind, would have guessed meursault or hidden bench felseck chard. Unlike any sauv. blanc I’ve ever had. For ref. 68/32 sauv to sémillon. Paired nicely with a loaded brioche bun croque monsieur.

What an experience discovering white Bordeaux of this profile and calibre.

Quick decant. Aromas of blackberry, currant, irona and earth. Flavors of cherry, blackberry, currant, iron and earth. Ends with a 25-30 second finish with blackberry and cherry notes. Consistent with prior note.

Mittleres Gelb. Offene Nase, Kamillenblüten, Apfel, ein Hauch Vanille. Der Gaumen ist zugänglich, rund, top Säure, knackige Frucht, das Holz kaum wahrnehmbar, lebhaft und druckvoll, ohne Schwerfälligkeit. Langer, frischer Abgang. Ab sofort bis 2030. (Januar 2024)

Rubinrot und sehr offen, dunkle Frucht, Holunderstile, Anis, auch Trockenkräuter. Im Gaumen seidenweich, sehr feines Tannin, nichts überwiegt, balanciert, elegant und angenehm langanhaltend. Das macht jetzt schon Spass, wird dennoch reifen. 2024-2040 (Januar 2024)

Chateau Brown Blanc is … Brown.
Old apples. Runny apples. Brown apples and an oxidized note as the cherry on top.
Terrible!

Decanted for 1 hour. Aromas of blackberry, currant. tomato leaf and iron. Flavors of blackberry, currant. cherry and a tough of earth. Ends with a somewhat short finish of 12-15 seconds. Pleasant to drink but not near the 2018 I recently had in terms of quality. Still very young though.

Decanted 1+ hour. Black fruit, violets and cedar on the nose. Medium bodied with good acidity and firm tannins that receded over time. Really started to shine after 2 hours in the decanter. Cassis, tobacco and spice with a hint of earth followed by a nice finish. I think this is just now starting to come into its own and should drink well for another 5-10 years. Purchased as futures and stored at 55 degrees. 91 points with possible upside.

Decanted an hour and 20 minutes. Aromas of iron, burning embers, blackberry, black cherry and currant. Flavors of iron, black currant, blackberry, coffee and earth. Ends with a 2-25 second finish with blackberry and iron notes. Stark contrast from the 2010 I had 4 years ago. This has verve and complexity.

Youthful blend of Merlot and Cabernet. Powerful on the nose, tannins and acid support the rich fruit, should develop into a beautiful left bank. Pessac-Leognan over delivers on value.

2020 Château Brown Blanc

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

12/31/2023 - BottleScholar Likes this wine: NR

Lemon oil, Meyer lemon peel, vanilla custard, warm baking spice, light fresh-cut oak, wet stone, and just enough of a woody herb note to add interest. Medium-deep lemon, almost gold color. Pronounced aromatic and flavor intensity. M+/H acid, rounded. M/M+ finish. M+ body with light beeswax texture. Oak fermentation and aging (below) is prominent though well-integrated, and possibly just a little bit of tannin is imparted from the oak. Very good, and outstanding if just a touch more complexity and/or longer finish. 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Sémillon. "Alcoholic fermentation at 16.5° in barrels (50% new and 50% used once previously)." Maturation: "100% of the production in French oak barrels with mild toast (50% new and 50% used once previously). Over fine lees, with stirring, during 8 months."

Shows its age with a ruby core. Leather and cherry on the nose with a similar palate. In my opinion, this easily holds for a few more years before any decline. Really enjoyed this bottle.

Dark fruit, intricate structure, mellow tannins & earthy complexity—this is just beginning its best drinking period. It will develop further during its next 5 years or so of peak maturity. Needs decanting & 1-2 hours of aeration.
