Harvested from September 26 until October 11, Nicolas Tari elected not to blend in the final lots of into his blend, but after trial blends he decided to keep just the two tries in order to maintain a more elegant style. As such, it has a zippy, light but focused bouquet with citrus peel and white flowers. The palate is vibrant in the mouth with quite penetrating acidity that combines well with those unfettered citrus notes threaded from start to finish. Very fine.

Medium yellow-gold. Complex, deep nose reveals pineapple, caramelized ginger and honeyed minerals. Then easygoing, bright and fresh, with flavors of citrus fruits, green papaya and orange zest nicely framed by lively acidity. Features sneaky concentration and a very long aftertaste.

This shows power and vigor, featuring a tightly wound core of intense apricot, tangerine and nectarine flavors that will need time to unwind. There's plenty of vivacious acidity to wait it out, though, along with beautiful mirabelle plum, green almond and singed orange notes for added range. This is strong showing. Best from 2017 through 2028. 833 cases made.

Region: Bordeaux

Although most commonly associated with their superb blended red wines, the world-famous region of Bordeaux in France is responsible for a relatively wide array of wines, ranging from the sweet and viscous white wines of Sauternes, to the dry and acidic single variety white wines found all over the region. However, it is the red wines which regularly make the wine world's headlines, and have historically been regarded as the finest on earth. The secret to the region's success is the fact that the warm and humid climate, coupled with mineral rich clay and gravel based soils produces grapes of excellent quality. Wineries in this region have spent hundreds of years mastering the art of blending and oak aging in order to get the best results from each grape, and remain the envy of the world to this day.
