“Fascinating dry white with lavender, lemon-rind and sliced-apple character. Full, very dry and mineral, with chalk and fruit character. Solid and structured. Needs at least four or five years to soften, but what a white. Better in 2017.” – 94pts James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, January 2014
French dry white wine from Pessac Leognan in Bordeaux France made with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
