It was a close call picking a favorite here between LMHBB and HBB, but, perhaps the La Mission has just a bit more going here. The perfume is packed with honeysuckle, lemon rind, pomelo, white peaches and herbs, with a touch of spice cover all the bases. Full-bodied, rich, fleshy and deep, the wine fills your palate with wall of ripe, yellow and orange citrus, crushed rocks, mango and a dab of honey, with ample acidity to keep everything up-beat and fresh. Drink from 2025-2040.

94 vvPunkte (70% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 14% Alkohol. Verkostet im Dezember 2021 in Windisch) Helles Gelb. Die Nase ist anfangs leicht reduktiv, öffnet sich dann rasch und offenbart delikate Aromen nach reifer Zitrone, Pfirsich und grünem Apfel, darüber florale Töne, weisser Tee, ein Hauch Rauch. Der Gaumen ist kräftig, leicht cremig, der Wein baut Druck auf, bleibt dabei hochelegant, die cremige Textur vermählt sich mit einer saftigen Säure, das Paket wirkt vibrierend und sehr balanciert, hallt im Abgang sehr lange nach. Grosses Weisswein-Kino. Jetzt bis 2030+ vvWine.ch

The sting of all that crushed rock, grapefruit, honeysuckle, white peach, lemon oil and star anise makes you take a step back and go for it again. Sapid in nature, the wine is rich, concentrated, juicy and mouth-filling with a crisp, zesty, sweet finish that does not quit. The wine is a blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. It is interesting to note that this is the first vintage of LMHB where the Semillon was picked before the Sauvignon. 99 Pts
