With vivid (and gorgeous) ripe fruit, brightness and impressive mid palate juiciness, this wine is a textbook example of how successful Bordeaux dry whites can be in 2023. The cooler, forest-influence microclimate of this estate in Margaux was ideal for the unorthodox - for Bordeaux - white grape varieties in the blend, which include Gros Manseng, Chardonnay and Viognier - along with Sauvignon Blanc. A low 3.35pH balances the 13% alcohol well, and the wine has the acidity and dry extract for some cellaring to gain complexity, although the youthful freshness is hard to beat. The 60% new oak for ageing acts as ideal toast seasoning as well as an agent for broadening the palate. Bravo!
