10 months in 35% new French oak. Has that very ripe Bordeaux Blanc smell. And the oak to back it up. Full and rich fruit, really juicy and lively. Some peach notes on the back end.

Very nice sauvignon blanc nose with peach. Taste: peach with probably apple and lime, but oak was at the front, be it well integrated. Nice minerality, OK acidity. Well balanced. The taste was a bit less good than the nose, but this was still an enjoyable, nice wine. I guess that it can best be drunk now. 88-89.

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Must fermented in a different size of barrel. All french oak, 225 L, 500 L and Foundre barrel as well. They want something authentic to the terroir of Pessac Leognan but can be drunk at a young age. Hmm... why am I having a bad tasting day. This is not quite as forward as I thought it might be.

89-90 vvPunkte Kühle, anfangs fruchtbetonte Nase, weisser Pfirsich, Limette, mit Luft kommen leich nussige Noten sowie feuchte Kieselsteine dazu, darüber weisse Blüten, schönes Aromenspiel. Im Auftakt dicht und mit ordentlch Druck, reife Frucht, saftige Säure, baut aus, wird opulenter, füllt den Gaumen und hallt im Abgang lange und mit einer schönen Würzigkeit sowie etwas grünem Apfel nach. Hat Reserven. 2022-2030 (April/Mai 2021)

Lemons, orange rind, honeysuckle and pears on the nose sets you up for the bright, sweet, creamy, yellow citrus filled palate. Drink this over the next 3-5 years. 88
