The combination of honeysuckle and yellow citrus hits the spot! Ripe, juicy and fresh, with the essence of stone and sea salt in the finish, this is already showing quite well. The wine blends 76.3% Semillon and 23.7% Sauvignon Blanc.

Rough year for Semillon, thus the huge proportion (76%) in the clarte as very little was good enough for inclusion into La Mission or Haut Brion blanc. Rich, round, lots of melon/honey Semillon flavor. You can feel the 60% new oak, but more in structure than in overtly oaky flavors. But overall, it comes off as a bit pedestrian and I really don't like such a high proportion of Semillon like this.
