The flavors in this grab you attention with sliced lemon, lime and white pepper notes and some salt. Savory and fresh. Medium-bodied, very well integrated, long and lively. Excellent and exciting. 73% semillon, 18% sauvignon blanc and 9% sauvignon gris. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Les Charmes Godard is one of the most under-the-radar dry whites in Bordeaux. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, pear and citrus are all finely delineated. In this vintage, Les Charmes Godard has a bit more cut than in most years, some of which may be attributable to its recent bottling.

A blend of 73% Sémillon, 18% Sauvignon Blanc and 9% Sauvignon Gris, the 2023 Les Charmes-Godard Blanc possesses a fresh, elegant bouquet of pear, white peach, lime tree leaves and white fruits, followed by a round, supple and juicy palate with bright acids, concluding with an ethereal, elegant finish. This is an excellent value. YC
