Chateau Clos Marsalette - Chateau Clos Marsalette blanc 2023

Weinwisser: "56 % Sauvignon Blanc, 44 % Sémillon, 56 hl/ha, 12.5 Vol.-%. Intensives Bouquet, Nektarine, Melisse und Mandarinenzeste. Am saftigen Gaumen mit balancierter Rasse, pfeffrigem Extrakt und schlankem Körper. Im aromatischen Finale Agrumen, Kreideton und Pampelmuse."

James Suckling: "A beautiful Pessac white with sliced green mango, lemon curd and light grapefruit. Medium body. Bright and flavorful. Well done."

Decanter: "White stone fruit aromas like nectarine combine with iodine tonicity in a wine that conveys both depth of tangy flavour and bright fruit, with an agreeable toasty aspect from the new oak (20%) for ageing. Picking dates in early September thread the needle of obtaining some richness while maintaining needed acidity for verve."

Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc is based on 56% Sauvignon and 44% Semillon. It has a classic Graves nose of ripe citrus, honeyed grapefruit, and hints of chalky minerality. This carries to a medium-bodied fresh and focused white offering notable richness and depth, bright acidity, and a good finish."

Falstaff: "Helles Strohgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart nach Stachelbeeren und Limetten, mit frischer Birnenfrucht unterlegt, floraler Touch. Saftig, elegant, mittelgewichtig, finessenreicher strukturiert, zart salziger Abgang, balancierter Speisenbegleiter."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc reveals vibrant notes of lime cordial, fresh grapefruit, and lemongrass with touches of orange blossom and beeswax. The light-bodied palate is so delicate, intense, and racy, with lingering citrus and chalk layers on the long finish. The blend is 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Semillon."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, green apples, white, with spicy accents of ginger, and peppery spice, the wine is bright, fresh and crisp, with a citrus, chalk, and green apple finish. The wine blends 56% Sauvignon Blanc with 44% Semillon. Drink from 2025-2030."

Vinum: "Expressiv, feine Würze, reife Zitrusfrucht, Pfirsich; am Gaumen mit knackiger Frucht und saftiger Säure, frisch und lebendig, angenehm lang."
