This is very lively and dense in the center palate. Full body, with a dried apple and pear character. Bright acidity. Citrusy. Long and brilliant. 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 27% Semillon, and 13% Muscadelle.

Bright, fresh Sauvignon nose with citrus and white flower. Zingy, crystalline palate. Very soft and pleasant, pretty long and persistent – likely to be great value too!

Shows solid thyme, sweet pea and jicama notes, with a fresh, tarragon-filled finish. Features a stony hint and good cut. —J.M.

Tasted en primeur at the château. A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 27% Semillon and 13% Muscadelle, it is the Semillon that comes through strongly on the nose with subtle tropical tones. The palate is nicely balanced with Kaffir lime, mango and citrus lemon. It has a nicely composed finish. Fine. Tasted April 2013.
