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.

Apr 5th, 2017Terrific Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, even if the face of the little guy on the label might be seeming to suggest otherwise. :)

Dec 10th, 2014Not my kind of wine at all. Appreciate the beauty of it—tons of fresh aromatic fruit, pear and apricot and golden delicious apple. Solid acidity. But overall not dry enough and not my favorite blend of grapes
