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

The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.

This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines.
