DECANTER: "Bright and alive on the palate giving flecks of orange peel, green apple, lime zest and vanilla, unctuous and satisfying with almost a sweet honeyed element alongside some salinity, bitterness and citrus brightness. Such excellent presence in the mouth - lots going on here, the sharp acidity and spiced touches balanced by an overall satisfying texture that leaves you wanting more. An interesting and engaging style to come out of Bordeaux and really leaves an impression in the mouth. Structured and long! Eric Boissenot consultant. 12% Chardonnay completes the blend."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "White peach, vanilla, flowers, melon, vanilla, lemons, and spice create the complex nose. Fresh, sweet, juicy, and creamy, with peach and lemon rind in the finish. You can enjoy this on release. The unique blend is made from 38% Gros Manseng, 25% Viognier, 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 12% Chardonnay. The wine was vinified in stainless steel and barrel and aged in 100% new, French oak barrels. Drink from 2023-2027."
