1/20/2024 - Lype Likes this wine:
This opens slightly smokey with a touch of toastiness. The palate is deceptively simple, yet drop dead gorgeous and inviting, lemon zest, yellow fruit, apple, minerals, hints of peach and roasted nuts, all this very delicate and elegant. In the blend there is 69 % of Semillon, which together with the non-obtrusive toasty oak, lends this Chadonnay-like feel. The 31 % Sauvignon Blanc component adds attractive freshness. Firm, medium acidity and good, satisfying finish. This is classy and accessible now but, in all likelihood, will gain more depth and complexity in the years to come.

Smokey lemon on nose with touch of reduction. Palate lemon, apricot and hint of pineapple with nice acidic balance. Lots of yellow fruit and stone/flint minerality. Good finish. Enjoyable Bordeaux Blanc.

This is an excellent bottle of white Bordeaux from a great vintage for it. Fine flavors of white peach and honey with a good cut of acidity to keep it fresh and a slightly waxy texture. The finish has a nice tingle of complexity with notes of sea salt and grilled nuts. The second white wine of both Haut Brion & La Mission Haut Brion mixed together.

The 2017 Clarte is a successful wine with waxy, honeycomb, smoky notes, accented by a slightly brackish marine character. But on the palate, there's a huge depth of white peach, expressive, compelling. This lasts and lasts on the finish. 93-94
