James Suckling: 96 Points
This is a very rich white with sliced, dried mango and apple, as well as cooked apples, candle wax and light vanilla. Full-bodied, layered and intense. Big, rich wine, yet remaining fresh and vivid. Needs time to come together. A blend of 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. but the semillon really marks the wine. Searing acidity, too. Try after 2021.

A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, the 2017 Blanc comes sailing out of the glass with bold notes of white peaches, fresh pineapple, lemon tart and lime cordial plus suggestions of honeysuckle, beeswax and musk perfume with a touch of wild sage. Medium-bodied and with a beautiful silky texture, the palate is packed with vibrant stone fruit and tropical fruit flavors, sporting a racy line of freshness, and it finishes long with an invigorating lift.
Decanter: 94 Points
The cool temperatures during the growing cycle made 2017 an excellent vintage for white Bordeaux, allowing for high aromatics. Now four years old, there are touches of orange peel and citrus zest along with gentle lemongrass, white pear and apricot pit flavours. Gentle, ready to drink but will age further. Aged in 6% new oak, pH3.17. It was picked from 5 September until 22 September., from vines located in the northerly part of the Médoc region, close to the estuary. Drinking Window 2021 - 2032.
