Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Compelling from start to finish, this is a show-stopping wine. Aromatically, the perfume hooks you with its white flowers, crushed stones, white peaches, grapefruit pith, and green apples. The palate is equal to the nose with its display of ripe, perfectly ripe, and almost ripe citrus, pears, apples, and white peaches with a spicy edge. The racy acidity keeps the wine going long after you think the finish is over. Drink from 2027-2055.

Bright yellow colour with green hue. Multi-layered nose with aroma reminiscent of peaches, tangerine zest, hints of granadilla, elegant aromatic herbs, elegant toasting, cold smoke, graphite. On the palate excellent depth and mouthfeel, rather rich with wonderful acidity and excellent length, fine citrus fruit, peaches and hints of tropical fruit. Creamy texture. A truly great White.

White wine of the vintage, huge depth, makes you want to stop and tell your friends. Citrus, slate, nuanced green apple, white pear, citrus, sage and gunsmoke, all beautifully drawn out through the palate, gorgeous depths from first to last moment, an impressive white that rises vertically. Harvest September 3 to 13. 44% new oak, with lees stirring once a week. 30hl/h yield because some vines impacted by frost. Jean-Philippe Delmas estate director.

This is racy and aromatic, with blossom honey, lemons, limes and crushed stone. Some Thai basil, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fresh acidity and plenty of energy. Solid and polished in the Haut-Brion way. Better to leave this for three or four years.
