Whites

Highly Recommended

Clos Floridène 92 One of Bordeaux’s great whites, and the lower acidity of 2015 is reflected in the dominance of forward stone fruit. Will attract many who might feel Bordeaux white is normally too sharp. 2016-2021 Ch Chantegrive, Cuvée Caroline 91 This wine proves yet again that white Graves is underrated. Excellent grip and ripe apricot, peach, citrus and marmalade fruit. An even Sem-Sauv blend barrel fermented in 50% new oak. 2016-2021 Ch Lehoul 90 Good grip and excellent apricot and lime blossom fruit plus mouthwatering, wet stone minerality. Sneaks up on you then holds on. 55% Sauvignon, 45% Semillon, fermented in 40% new oak. 2016-2021
