Vintage 2021 | see earlier note | 6 months barrel aging and this was to be seen in a gold colour that makes you think the wine is older when tasted blind | vines between 50 and 70 years old | fine smell with vanilla, ananas, mango and melon. A tingling bitter that gives the wine character imo, good acidity. My wine friends found it difficult to place the wine. — 21 hours ago

2022 vintage. The website didn't update for the 2022 vintage yet, but according to Jeff Leve (the Wine Cellar Insider often has more recent info than the official websites), it is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. In any case, it is a beauty. Pineapple and white peach go hand in hand with floral and mineral aromas. It has a very round mouthfeel, but very fresh at the same time. Probably the finest value in Pessac-Léognan white Cru Classés these days. — 3 months ago

This is actually the Ornelias label
Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon 60/40
Mimicking the Ornellaia and doing it pretty well too. Glen Garvald is a Levantine Hill side venture. — 9 months ago

Grapefruit, elderflower, pear, melon, vanilla, hay, drizzles of honey and spice. Soft, rounded, oily and complex, while a tangy twang provides freshness and lift.
Marvelous wine.

Such a pity that this Persé-property took all white vines out a few years ago… 😫

An incredible delectable white blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Sémillon, and 11% Muscadelle by Lynch-Bages, a 5th Growth Chateau, that its wines quality exceeds far beyond its status of the 1855 class. Limited quantity available, and exceptionally balanced white, creamy on the nose thanks to its aging process as the Must was exposed up to 6 months in barrels on lees with 50% French oak that provides enough complexity to keep your sense stimulated. Bright character, lemon peel, dry and yet some decent crispiness, a bit of mandarin and cream pie on the back end of the palate. Vinified to drink it young and fresh! If you find it, get it without hesitation, you will love it. — a month ago
