This bottle was oxidized. Deep golden in color. A fair amount of oak showing but no fruit. A shame as there is often great value in the under $30 world of Bordeaux. It is a blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The cork looked fine but something went wrong somewhere. The current vintage is 2023, but even at age six years from vintage, it seems it should still be drinking well. Oh well.
This house may be better known now for their reds, but they make some fantastic whites as well. And, as this bottle shows, they can be quite age worthy. Medium golden in color. The nose is nice with lemons, lemon peel, along with spice and vanilla. There is a fair amount of oak still on the nose. On the palate, plenty of lemons, slight wax, vanilla and spice. Mild oak tannins. Long finish. There is still plenty of fruit left but also plenty of oak. This should continue to slowly age out from here, but won't get any better. Good finish. This will work well with salmon or roasted d
This is a blend of 50% Semillon and 50% Sauvignon Blanc according to the label (although the winery web site lists it at 80/20). The Semillon stood out, so I tend to believe the winery over the back label. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with alfalfa, slight lemons and a bit of melon. Medium bodied. Oily texture.
