95 /100

The 2021 Blanc has developed gracefully since en primeur, delivering attractive aromas of ripe pear, peach, lime tree leaves, verbena and mint intertwined with mineral, smoky nuances. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with a broad attack and fleshy mid-palate, it exhibits compelling purity and tension, concluding with a saline, mint-inflected finish. It has the potential to improve in the cellar over the next decade or more. Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate

? /100

This has so much blossom honey and white flowers with limes and other citrus. Stone and mineral undertones. Subtle passion fruit. A truly complex and great nose. Full-bodied and compact with fruit, phenolics and fresh acidity. Just a touch of sea salt. Very long and persistent. If you close your eyes, it's like a great red wine. One of the best whites ever to come from here. 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% semillon, 5% sauvignon gris. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

James Suckling

95 /100

Pale yellow, green hints, silver reflections. On the nose, subtle wood savouriness, nuances of gooseberry, mango and passion fruit, a mineral note, floral hints and a touch of candied mandarin zest. Textured and elegant with fine fruit expression, finesse-rich acidic structure, well balanced and subtle notes of caramel and pineapple on the persistent finish. Already approachable, a multi-layered food wine with length and definite aging potential.

Falstaff

97 /100

One of the wines of the vintage when retasted in bottle, and it's absolutely singing now. A deliciously slow build through the palate, mouthwatering with white pear, quince, brioche, salted cracker, sage, graphite, and a ton of restrained citrus. The texture opens to show a creamy, gourmet and irresistible side. Harvest September 2 to 20, 50% new oak for ageing. Once again proving that this is one of the standout whites of France, from Daniel and Florence Cathiard.

Hvid Bordeaux blend

White Bordeaux Blend er en sammensætning af Bordeaux' tre klassiske hvidvinsdruer: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc og Muscadelle. I denne blend bidrager Sauvignon Blanc med sine karakteristiske græsagtige aromaer og friskhed, mens Sémillon tilføjer kompleksitet, fylde samt honningagtige noter. Muscadelle, den mindst kendte af de tre, bidrager med drueagtige aromaer og aromatisk løft.

En undervurderet klassiker

Den klassiske White Bordeaux Blend er en af verdens mest oversete hvidvinskategorier. Indtil 1960'erne var vingårdene i Bordeaux domineret af hvidvinsdruer, men ændringer i forbrugerpræferencer samt forbedringer i rødvinsproduktion betød, at hvid Bordeaux blev skubbet i baggrunden. Selv i dag forbliver hvid Bordeaux stærkt overskygget af sin røde pendant.

Blendets komposition

Ifølge tradition og appellationslovgivning skal en klassisk hvid Bordeaux-vin indeholde mindst 25% Sauvignon Blanc for at sikre aromatisk friskhed og balance.

Sammensætningen varierer efter ønsket stil:

Lettere, aromatiske vine: Højere andel af Muscadelle
Rigere, kælderegnede vine: Højere andel af Sémillon
Mange hvide Bordeaux-vine er simpelthen en blend af Sémillon og Sauvignon Blanc uden Muscadelle.

Karakteristika

White Bordeaux Blend spænder fra blege, guldgrønne vine med citrus, græs og hø til dybere gyldne vine med honning, orangemarmelade, tørrede abrikoser og nødder. Aromaerne udvikler sig med alder og viser vinenes kompleksitet og lagringspotentiale.
