Nice nose. Gentle butterscotch notes on the palate. Well balanced and super long finish.

Great acidity - perfect for the hot weather. Apricots and lemon curd. Pretty wine.

Vs the fevre Les clos Chablis. This had a persistent petrol funk on the nose that never blew off even with time out of the bottle. A pretty body and finish but a bit disjointed b/c of the sharp contrast with the nose. Lots of potential here.

Light yellow with golden hue. White flowers, jasmine, tropical fruit with slight grassy undertones. Strong minerality on the medium- body. Long finish.

Opulent, with lemon sorbet and salted butter. Tarragon in the finish. Could use another three years of bottle aging. #9/100 Top 100 Wines of 2016.

Very high on Bordeaux Blanc these days and this was a treat! Plenty of wood and the semillon stands out. Big tropical fruit!

Ok, I don't usually pay much for white Bordeaux, but this guy's gonna be the exception.
