2021 Clos Floridene Blanc, Graves

The Clos Floridene Blanc has an endearing well defined quite floral bouquet of vibrant citrus fruit complemented by white flowers. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation and quite tensile. A twist of sour lemon lends energy on the finish. Just a delicious dry white Bordeaux.

Bright and lively in the glass, tangy and sharp but so well balanced with intensity yet softness, getting the liveliness and energy but also complexity of flavour - lemon, pineapple, apricot and peach - sharp, almost sour, so tangy and zesty in the glass just shining brightly. This is extremely aromatic and flavourful with a persistence that lasts the whole way through. I also like the really soft honeyed lemon touch that runs underneath the more overt acidity. A solid effort. Tasted twice.

This has grip and energy, striking gooseberry and citrus fruits, cold ash and white pepper spices giving focus on the finish. One of the best Clos Floridène whites for years, and what a pleasure to taste. 25% new oak and lees stirring.
