  • 2022 Clos Floridene Blanc 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves

    The nose is classically Sauv Blanc although this is a blend, with notes of gooseberry, a hint of perspiring armpit, and a touch of tropical fruit, evoking a sense of a Sunday roast that remains elusive. The palate is tight and concentrated, with high acidity, grass, and gooseberry, along with a subtle toastiness. Grilled tropical fruit and a crisp citrus character add freshness, making the wine lively and enjoyable.
