Jaune paille clair, moyennement brillant. Assez lourd, larmes lourdes et lentes. Premier nez floral sur l'acacia, complété par des notes d'agrumes. Belle minéralité exprimée par un coté iodé. Bouche vive, fortement citronnée qui présente un boisé fin. Vin séveux assez épais et gras. Belle minéralité. Finale assez courte et capiteuse. Un Pessac blanc présentant une vinosité importante au détriment de la fraicheur et de la finesse. Equilibre moyen et finale défectueuse pour prétendre à plus.

Wax, honeysuckle, apricot, a bit of toasty vanilla -- maybe a tiny bit oxidative? Fairly light, not great length; sauvignon dominates semillon. Seems like a wine between its youth and a more mature state. Not terribly interesting at the moment but perhaps better in a few years (but doesn't seem built for long aging).

Bright, crisp with significant fruit appeal and nice ripe oak notes. Some complexity and a light buttery quality; drinks very nicely now.

Drank during dim sum brunch in Chicago. It paired well with everything.

Strong but pleasing mineral nose, clean citrus and zip
