JAMES SUCKLING: "A pretty texture to this wine with sliced lemon, green apple and fresh celery. Grapefruit and nougat, too. Medium body. Sancerre-like. Sauvignon blanc. Drink now."

DECANTER: "Lovely florality to the nose with a gorgeous white stone and yellow fruit aromatic expression. Excellent weight on the palate, a lemon patisserie edge, crisp green apple, touches of grape and juicy orange, but also with sharp lemon too - you get the layers of flavour here. It's crisp and clear, such clarity and precision but also weight and you get the minerality too, the chalkiness that comes across as a fine texture on the palate. Open and friendly, screaming 'drink me'! I love this. 5,000 bottle production. Not yet imported into the UK but it should be!"

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2021 Blanc D'Aiguilhe is a terrific white and if you're looking for a terrific Bordeaux Blanc that won't break the bank, give this a whirl. Crushed stone, honeyed lime, and salted citrus are just some of the aromas and flavors, and it's medium-bodied, with racy, vibrant acidity, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Just bottled a week before my visit, the 2021 d'Aiguilhe Blanc is a medium-bodied, tangy and incisive wine evocative of citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit and freshly baked bread. Seamless and penetrating, it derives from a late-ripening site on the limestone slopes of the Côtes de Castillon that has always produced an unusually chiseled, mineral style of white Bordeaux."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Zarte Kräuterwürze, feine Nuancen von Mango und reifen Stachelbeeren, feiner Blütenhonig. Mittlerer Körper, elegant, feine Frucht, grüner Apfel, gut integrierter Säurebogen, zitronig, vielseitig einsetzbar und bereits gut antrinkbar."
