Château Lynch-Bages
Blanc de Lynch-Bages White Bordeaux Blend 2010
Thanks @Kyle Groombridge , going to try to find that to try, know their Sauternes well and always a great value.
One more note, while DD sources from Sauternes/Graves, the Lynch-bages is from vines located on the estate in Paulliac. Plantings are 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 32% Semillon and 15% Muscadelle.
^exactly why I'd be excited to try one.

A rich and beautifully shimmering gold color belies a nose that is salty like the sea, with some cut lawn grass and gooseberry. However nut and honey enhance and counter with a mild sweetness to the salty nose. The palate is firm and completely mineral and loaded with juicy acidity. Some of the saline comes through with a thrust of honeydew melon and tart yellow apples. Long and clean on the finish. The saline and nut aromas make me think of slight oxidation so if Lopez de Heredia whites are not your thing avoid this vintage. If you do enjoy LdH Blanco though the palate on this suggests more to come. #lynchbages #bordeauxblanc #bordeaux #sauvignonblanc #semillon #thegoldenrule — 9 years ago
