Already bottled, the 2021 Blanc de Lynch-Bages exhibits aromas of ripe grapefruit, musky peach and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's a blend of 79% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sémillon and 6% Muscadelle.

Bottled in the early spring, this Lynch Bages Blanc will be available for delivery in the autumn of 2022. Pale citrus with peach blossom and greengage on the nose, it has a flinty, smoky edge and the subtlest creaminess in the background. The palate is oily and intense, cut by fine acidity. Highly floral with zesty citrus and riper mandarin, it is both intense and harmonious. This is already delicious and, like most modern white Bordeaux, will drink best in its first 5 years.

A blend of 79% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Semillon, and 6% Muscadelle, the 2021 Blanc de Lynch-Bages skips out of the glass with energetic scents of grapefruit, fresh lemons, and lime leaves, plus hints of wet pebbles and elderflower. Light-bodied, the palate is crisp and intense, laden with citrusy layers, finishing with plenty of zing. pH 3.27.
