Colour is mid lemon to pale gold. The blend is 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon. Fermentation in barrel, no malolactic. The Savvy Blanc makes its presence felt with aromas of tropical fruits. Barb said Guava and she knows guava from when she was a child. On nose and palate. Also honeysuckle. Still very fresh - the oak has melded perfectly with the fruit. Acid is medium minus; the texture is unctuous. Have the last one in the next year or so.

Mid yellow in colour. An interesting marine type note which became oxidative with time. Notes of citrus and white peach, a little broad. A creamy texture from part oak maturation. 76% Sauvignon Blanc 24% Semillon. Fermented in barrel on lees for 18 months. 35% new barrels.

In a sweet spot. Toasted buckwheat and shaved coconut, dried pineapple, citrus, apricot tagine, brown butter, caramel, sage, white pepper and white tea. Zingy and so long. Salty, with a subtle sweetness and great texture. Resonant minerals round out the finish. Superb.
There’s actually a real affinity between these noble Bordeaux blancs from Chevalier and Lopez de Heredia’s gran reserva blancos.
