This full-bodied blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon hit 14.5% natural alcohol. It is deep and rich, with loads of caramelized grapefruit, tropical fruit, subtle oak, wet stones and plenty of melons. Drink now-2035
Tasted at the Union de Grand Cru in London. This estate has been producing excellent white wines of late and the 2010 has a lot to offer. It is bestowed with a fragrant lime and passion fruit tinged bouquet with hints of melted wax. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, well-integrated oak and a lovely spice tinged finish that lingers long on the mouth. Very fine. Tasted November 2012.
Tasted at the Union de Grand Cru in London. This has a wonderful, almost Burgundy-like bouquet with very expressive mineralité. Crushed stone, a touch of apple-blossom and dried flowers with deftly integrated new oak. The palate is well balanced with a crisp entry, not quite as entrancing as the nose at this point, but the mineralité really comes through towards the tense finish. Excellent. Tasted October 2011.
