2022 Blanc de Lynch Bages

The 2022 Blanc de Lynch-Bages, tasted two weeks after bottling, is a blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Semillon, and 11% Muscadelle. It jumps from the glass with vibrant grapefruit, lemon curd, and white peach scents with hints of honeysuckle, lime blossom, and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate vibrates with citrus energy, with a racy backbone and chalky finish. pH 3.2.

Well structured, a little closed at this point, with a slate minerality evident in its texture. This manages to offer grip and lift, with mint leaf, coconut and subtle toasted hazlenut notes well balanced by juicy white nectarine and pear fruits. Good quality and stands out in the vintage. 7ha of white vines at Lynch Bages, planted largely in 1990 on gravelly soils in Saint Saveur, a commune close to Pauillac in the Médoc appellation. Fermented and aged in barrel, Nicolas Labenne winemaker.
