  May 8, 2023 - Lemon chiffon, lawn grass, pears, vanilla, white peach, and tangerine skin nuances form the core of this wine. The wine is forward, sweet, creamy, and pure, with a buttery accent on the long, fruit-packed, fresh, vibrant backend. The wine will be a pleasure to enjoy on release and over the following decade or longer. The wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.13.4% ABV. 3.18 pH. Yields were only 14 hectoliters per hectare, so not much of this wine was made. If you are a fan, act quickly. This is the white wine of the vintage! Drink from 2024-2037. 97-97 Pts.

  May 1, 2023 - 94 vvPunkte / (Die weissen Trauben wurden am 18. August gelesen, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, pH 3.18, 13.4% Alkohol. Rund 50% der Ernte gingen in den Pavillon Blanc, es wird mit den restlichen Trauben neu einen Zweitwein werden - Name und Label noch nicht bekannt) Grandiose Nase, sehr expressiv, viel exotische Frucht, Salzzitrone, weisser Pfirsisch, nussige Noten und deutliche Mineralik. Im Gaumen rund und füllig im Auftakt, dann packt der Wein zu, wird straffer, schlanker, sehr knackige Frucht, ausgezeichnete Säurestruktur, der Wein zeigt Rasse, Präzision und Balance, hallt im Abgang sehr lange nach und endet salzig und mit zitrischen Rückaraomen. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Margaux) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  April 24, 2023 - Bright bright bright
  
  Tropical, opulent fruit with cut grass.
  
  Lively, vivacious palate with ascending acidity and great length and persistence. Very exuberant.

  April 24, 2023 - En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Three (Bordeaux): Gooseberry, cream, slight passion fruit, sweet spice, a little apple note here as well as a touch of minerality. Juicy but more fleshy than fresh, slight apple, gooseberry, the passion fruit is more muted here; almost a touch of melon and very slightly bitter textured grip that proves a touch drying. Hmm.
