2001 vintage. 80 % Sauvignon blanc and 20% Sémillon. So glad I had a second bottle of this wine. The first one was beautiful, but this is even better. Deep golden colour. Intensely complex nose with beeswax, lemon confit, dried flowers and honey. Concentrated layered dried fruit, rich and powerful, but beautifully balanced by the acidity. Incredible length with almonds, honey and retronasal dried fruit. Paired this with an amazing Morocco tajine with chicken, olives, lemon confit and potatoes and it was a match made in heaven. Abv. 13,5 %.

2001 vintage. 80 % Sauvignon blanc, 20 % Sémillon. Low yields (25 hl/ha), 10000 bottles produced. Deep golden colour, looks older than it tastes. Intense perfume of bee wax, almonds and dried flowers. Powerful, profound and very good length. For lovers of older white Bordeaux.

Golden yellow, beautiful marzipan baked apple aromatics, surprisingly fresh and youthful, creamy texture, honeyed, zingy lemon, apricot, toasted nuts, butterscotch. Absolutely delicious. Why Bdx Blanc isn’t more popular is beyond me

Golden yellow in color. The nose is going a little rich / oxidative. Really tasting the semillon today. Wish I got to this about 3 years ago but still a pretty nice example. Lots of weight not as much freshness as the 07s used to have. Nonetheless I would drink another bottle if it was in front of me

Holy creamy honeyed semillon ! This lacks the acid I was seeking but still has incredible complexity ... pungent aromas of noble rot with ginger and saffron. Oily texture.
