  Honeysuckle, white peach, vanilla, almonds, lemon rind, pineapple, honeysuckle and white flowers create the nose. On the palate, the wine is sweet, creamy and fresh, with orange, lemon and tart green apple nuances from start to finish. Made from a blend of 51% Semillon and 49% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Semillon, picking took place August 17 - August 23. 14.2% ABV, 3.3 pH. Drink from 2025-2040. 96-96 Pts.

  98 vvPunkte / (51.4% Semillion, 48.6% Sauvignon Blanc, 14.2% Alkohol). Leicht reduktive Nase, burgundisch anmutend, Zitrusfrüchte, Gräser, Limetten, grüner Apfel, die weissen Blüten und dezente Röstaromen komplettieren das Bild. Im Gaumen mit viel Volumen und Kraft, ein Mund voll Wein, sehr opulent, dennoch mit Frische und einem perfekt integrierten Säurenerv, die Balance ist einmal mehr vorzüglich, das hat Präzision, Kraft, Finesse und Länge. Leider teuer, doch eine Sünde wert. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château La Mission Haut-Brion) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Seven (Bordeaux): Ooh, initially a little chalky minerality note with the implication of salinity, then some muted apple and a smidge of lime, touches of struck match reductiveness, cream, butter and polished oak complete the aromas. Juicy, that slightly saline mineral note translates to the palate, a little apple, textured burr, a little apple skin bitterness. On the finish it kind of falls apart - a very odd sensation - and feels a little clumsy.
