Well, a nice white Graves; but really nothing special to remember. That white doesn't hurt anybody. Even if the white is higher priced than the red from that estate. Compared to a pronounced Jurançon sec or a Rheingau-Riesling (e.g. Steinberger) or a hock (= from Hochheim), I must say, I'd rather prefer "un blanc de Pau" or a strong and structured Riesling to this white Graves. PQR at 18€/bottle to discuss. For me: no rebuy.

Popped and poured at fridge temp. A very nice rich white, with nettles and tropical fruit, a bit of match stick on the nose. The palate is quite rich, passionfruit, gooseberry, good acidity. A very nice wine! Not very often that I have a dry white from Bordeaux.

Greenish hue. Not very strong nose but the Sauvignon blanc is more pronounced on the palate. Preserved lemon, white peach, pine. Sémillon and barrel aging add some weight but this is rather easy drinking and a great food wine to boot.

White B is good stuff. New game for me. Combines the floral elderberry notes fron the sauvignon blanc with the fat lean texture of semillon together with moderate barrel handling. And price is wallet friendly!

Academie de Vin dinner. Decent, but relatively simple.
