Sweet juicy lemons, white peach, spice, mango, and honeysuckle on the nose get this started. But it is on the palate, with its sweet citrus, orange pith, and touch of honey where the wine shows its best. The wine blends 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2023-2029. 92-92 Pts.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Four (Bordeaux): Medium plus intensity aromas of gooseberry, apple, slightly stony minerality, a little candied peach and passion fruit notes. Forward with a little sweet spice and a tiny touch of savoury herbaceousness. Nice and complex nose. In the mouth it's juicy and fleshy, a similar melange of flavours, perhaps some lees work or time on solids, like the Pichon Baron, the slide from fruit to texture is seamless. Arguably lacks a little fresh acidity for any form of longevity but otherwise wonderful.
