The 2012 Les Charmes-Godard, Nicolas Thienpont's Semillon/Sauvignon/Muscadelle blend, is once again terrific. white flowers, lemon peel, white pepper and orchard fruit nuances are bright, focused and wonderfully delineated throughout. Drink this fresh, aromatic white over the next few years. Les Charmes Godard remains one of the most distinctive whites in Bordeaux. The 2012 was vinified and aged in 500L tonneaux, about 25% new.

Medium body, medium plus tannin, smooth with velvety texture. Red cherry, black cherry, lots of plum. A touch of earthiness with cinnamon, nutmeg under tone. Not bad for a vintage 2008.

Terrific Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, even if the face of the little guy on the label might be seeming to suggest otherwise. :)

Focused, concentrated and still filled with mystery. Getting spicier and fuller-bodied (!) in the glass
