  This wine is very much in its drinking window now in a good way. It is now showing tertiary characteristics from the semillon, muscadelle and oak. Full of grapefruit, yellow peach, lemon rind with some tropical flavours still swirling around. Long and a slightly saline finish with gravel and structure. Beautiful.

  Wow, another winner from Bernard Magrez! A blend of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon, 16% Sauvignon Gris and 9% Muscadelle. Golden yellow on the eye. Luvly. Bouquet of grapefruit, vanilla and toasty-oak. Our noses want to sally forth without sipping...stunning. Palate of grapefruit, lemon and a peach nectar-like texture. Long, slightly tart, finish. She only showed after approximately an hour breathing in the bottle. Sip slightly warm to appreciate the aromas and tastes.

  Developing surprisingly quickly, some notes of lanolin alongside honey and citrus; a bit flat on the palate with moderate acidity. Perhaps not a great bottle at this tasting?
