White

An atypical Bordeaux white from 100% old-vine Sémillon on sloping limestone vineyards in the Entre-deux-Mers that is a great success in 2022. Smells fresh with green fruits, toffee apple, lemon, ginger and lime. Sharp and filling, a lovely density straight away, not thick though as the sharp acidity keeps the tension and the focus but this definitely has a gourmet edge which is want you want from Semillon with a tang you'd imagine would come from Sauvignon. Creamy, unctuous, seriously appealing with a sharp kick of lemon, lime and grapefruit pith giving such excellent bitter edges and then a sweet peachy fruitiness. Great balance and intensity with such drinkability. A lovely buy with a long finish and ageing potential. One to seek out.
