Honeysuckle, white peach, orange rind, ginger, spice and pineapples get the wine going in the nose, and in the fresh, energy-driven, spicy, citrus-packed, gingery palate, that lingers in the finish. This is good to go on release. Drink from 2024-2034.

Mittleres Gelb. Die Nase duftet intensiv nach Weinbergpfirsich und Kräutern, mit mehr Luft auch Grapefruit-Aromen, keinerlei Holzdominanz, dieses ist subtil im Hintergrund. Im Gaumen mit cremigem Auftakt, wird dann rasch saftig und frisch, die knackige Frucht und eine nervige Säure harmonieren, der Wein wirkt deutlich frischer und eleganter als in anderen Jahren, hallt lange nach, endet zitrisch und salzig. Sehr gelungen. 2025-2037 (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

Not the only time I thought this going through the dry whites, but I really can't recall the last time I had such a good Bouscaut Blanc. The slight waxiness of the high semillon content really very fresh and classy, backed up by a nice salty crushed rock element and good weight. Top notch, playing with the big guns here.

Branaire Ducru Vertical (The Market Brasserie at the Intercontinental at the O2, London): Takes a little time to get going but when it does a lovely grass / straw nose. Some bruised red apple and later a spot of tarragon. Palate is well balanced and has a lovely refreshing mouth puckering acidity. Probably one to drink up but a very pleasant start to the evening.

Selections of Bordeaux 2021 from barrel: Clocking in at 13.3% alcohol and blending 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, this estate delivers smooth, ripe white stone fruit and clementine orange with juicy pear on the finish. A top white! With freshness and Sémillon fleshiness, it comes across just lovely. (94-96)

Bright, fresh and floral, this is like biting into a crisp Granny Smith apple with just squeezed lemons, lime and pomelo. The elegant, fresh, sweet, citrus in the finish lingers. Drink from 2023-2033. 91-93

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Zuiderkerk): Creamy lemon, white peach, crisp and firm but with sufficient flesh, grippy finish with good length.

Tasted at UGC Tasting in London 8/11/23.
70% SB, 30% Sem.
Typical of the Château but a little disappointing as I am a fan. Would need to try again.
