Bordeaux, France
This is the white grown and made by Chateau Lagrange in Saint Julien, though it qualifies only for the lowly Bordeaux AOC. It’s got a lot of character. Nose starts out quite grassy, but with air the buttery, lanolin character of the Semillon comes out a bit more. A bit of nicely-judged toast from the oak and some wet river rocks. In the mouth it’s got nice flavor density and beautiful balance. Nicely put together wine. Seems like it will improve over the next few years.

Fresh cut grass initially, then faint lemon and oily notes, crisp, refreshing, nicely balanced, medium-long finish, could use a little more cellaring, very fine white Bordeaux.

Very floral nose of white flowers and hints of grass. Acidic and good balance and long finish of minerals and stones. Interesting. 60 SB. 20 semillon 20 Sauvignon Gris. Bordeaux tasting at chateau with Lee family.
