  Great juice from this tiny vineyard. Only few barrels produced. All handcrafted. From micro plot of light limestone terroir and few clay and chalk. 60% Semillon 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris. Oak fermentation. and ageing for 9 months. Bottled in June 2016. Great and intense notes, white flowers, with citrus and honey with white flowers. Great minerality and lots of freshness. Complex, very well integrated! Congratulations for this first vintage. Winemaker is a women: Axelle Courdurié with the help of his husband Pierre. Tasted in Japan.

  From a blend of 60% Semillon. 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris, this is the debut vintage for hits new Bordeaux Blanc from the team at Croix de Labrie. Honeysuckle and grapefruit in the nose, the wine is deep in color, with a sweet, grapefruit rind sensation in the finish. Drink this on release.
