Holy mouth-puckering Grapefruits Barbie! ( Could be Batman 🤣) Too cold initially... Needs to warmer.
I guess if you can make the best wines in the world, you can make a little DIY project at home in the after hours. That is, since you've only got Cheval Blanc and d'Yquem for your day job... (Until retirement, this month!)... you only need to ensure the plants are watered occasionally?
Pronounced Pale Lemon, green tinge. Yellow Grapefruit Lemon/Lime? Green apple pear Grass Green Asparagus Quarried stones ( flinty)
Dry (mouth puckeringly), though Alcohol medium Acid high Tannin none Viscosity medium when cold, slightly increased with temperature Finish - very long 60+ seconds
Balanced with pronounced aroma intensity. Lemon, lemon peel, grapefruit, wet stones, lanolin, and laurel leaves. Very good wine for the price. Youthful. Drink now, not suitable for further aging.

As other reviewer mentioned "Impulse purchase at Costco" - ditto here. Wish I grabbed more. Quite refreshing with wonderful balance and long finish. Worth seeking out again.

Impulse Purchase @ Costco 12.0% abv - $12 Sémillion - 45%; Sauvignon Blanc - 35%; Sauvignon Gris - 15%; Muscadelle - 5% Home château of Pierre Lurton, who also runs Cheval Blanc & d'Yquem.
Served @ 10/50 with Baked Tilapia, Broccoli, French Fries & Slaw.
Very Pale yellow in the glass. Pleasant, floral nose of white grape, green apple, and citrus. Unoaked, fruity with apricot and pear on the palate. Sémillion contributes to the smooth mouth feel. Nice acidity that is refreshing and cleanses the palate. Crisp, tart, minerally finish.
Good with food,or just for sipping on its own. Spouse Endorsed, I'll get more.

Interesting. Somewhat sparse yet full mouthfeel, minerally, light fruit. Drinkable but we did not see it pairing well with food as we prepare it, so enjoyed it as a refreshing aperitif where it performed nicely.

Seems to be showing more melon in both nose and mouth this time around, with the acid less strident. Hints of green pepper in the aroma, too. 5-11-15-8: 89/100.

Opeed last night. Mostly gold with a hint of yellow. Steely nose along with some citrus. More lime than lemon. In the mouth, bracing acidity, perhaps a bit too much. Might need a little time to smooth out the acidic edge. Say about a year or so. A little short on fruit, at least for the time being. 4-10-14-7: 85/100.

Light straw-colored. Smelled lemon and grass with some bell pepper as well; the flavor was mostly citrus and lightly floral. Refreshing acid, the finish is medium length and pithy.

(87-89 vvPunkte) Blasses Gelb. Intensive Nase, viel reife Zitrusfrucht, ein Hauch Aprikose und Vanillegebäck. Im Gaumen frisch, fruchtig, leicht und mit saftiger Frucht. Mittlere Länge. Harmonisch. Jung und kühl geniessen. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Dourthe) vvWine.ch

Flowers, bright yellow citrus, green apple and bright, grapefruits shine in the nose and on the creamy, bright, crisp palate. Drink this young for all of its fruit and freshness. Drink from 2023-2027. 90-90
