The 2022 Le Blanc d’Aiguilhe is a brilliant dry white Bordeaux that defies the expectations of its right-bank terroir. It presents a bright pale-yellow colour and opens with an expressive nose of white peach, zesty grapefruit, and lime blossom, accented by delicate notes of wet stone and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and impeccably balanced; the natural richness and unctuous texture of the Sauvignon Blanc are kept in check by a piercing, saline acidity and a distinct mineral tension. Aged on its lees in a mix of demi-muids and wooden vats, it offers a sophisticated structure and a long, energetic finish with lingering citrus and floral nuances. Food Pairing: Perfectly complements fresh oysters, grilled sea bass with lemon-butter sauce, goat cheese salads, roasted poultry, or light pasta dishes with spring vegetables.
94 Points - James Suckling
A restrained nose that's neither overt nor too lifted. Rather quiet and subtle with a calm, composed sensibility. Minerals, white fruit and some orchard fruit as well. Serious yet elegant with a long, chalky finish. Nice phenolics add to the texture and fullness with excellent flavor and length. 100% sauvignon blanc. Drink now.
