DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon, the Sauvignon is dominant on the nose, with the round Semillon comma through in the mid palate. Acidity fairly high, this is a classic dry white Bordeaux, one for lovers of the style. Barrel ageing on this wine lasts for eight months, with regular lees stirring, in 25% new oak. Lovely crisp aromatics, making full use of the vintage possibilities for white wines.
It's a pleasure to have this wine on our shelves! Made by the man who almost single-handedly reinvented white Bordeaux, Denis Dubourdieu, this astonishingly layered wine is a 'must-try' for lovers of complex dry white wines.
The Clos Floridene Blanc 2014 has a very composed nose in the making. This is keeping everything back, but there is appreciable delineation with citrus peel, white peach and apple peel aromas. The palate is crisp and fresh with good acidity, just a little rasping on the finish but there is commendable length and a sense of energy here. This will probably represent great value.
