Oh my! Star bright straw gold with green highlights. White flowers, orange rind on the nose. The palate is downright creamy(!) on entry immediately brightening mid-palate (medium acidity) and giving up orange rind, honeysuckle, and a bit of coriander with a honey like -- yes, honey like -- finish. My wine son and I enjoyed it with scallops and red snapper with a foie gras starter. It sang. So much variety falls under the Bordeaux Blanc Sec moniker. This might spoil me for a lot of what's left.

A rare occasion to try the 2012 and 2011 side by side with Pierre Lurton. Beautiful development of richness already. Honey and fresia nose. 7g resid sugar. 14%. Lengthy finish.

A lot better than the bottle I opened 2 years ago, but still in the process of maturing. Wonderful aromas and a very pleasant departure from our Champagne tasting journey

This seems more drier on the palate than previous vintages with no hints of botrytis with citrus, orange peel , mineral and acacia flower.

Always a unique Bordeaux Blanc. Very rich but bone dry with a hint of botrytis, notes of honey, vanilla and acacia flower
