Slate and gunsmoke reduction, alongside savoury grip and juice, lovely quality, white flowers, apple blossom, lime zest, great lift and quality, reserved, structured, plenty of ageing potential and hidden depths that promise future growth, and it works. 41 hl/ha, Jean-Jacques Bonnie owner with his sister Véronique.

(Pessac-Léognan; 69% Sauvignon Blanc; 31% Sémillon; a final yield of 41 hl/ha; 40% new oak; pH 3.28; 12.5% alcohol; tasted at the property with Severine and Jean-Jacques Bonnie and then re-tasted at the UGC press tasting). Beautifully true to its style and an easy pick. Upright, tense and charged with energy. A touch of iodine and oyster shell, gooseberry, greengage and Mirabelle, green tea, white almond. Apple skin. This has great impact on the attack with lots of vertical range and layering for a white. Some exotic fruits– guava and passionfruit – but predominantly citrus notes, with blood orange, mandarin rind, yuzu and pink grapefruit; white pear and nectarine too. A little fennel bulb. This has a lovely subtle salinity on the finish too. Long and gently tapering. lhere’s pots of aging potential to this but it’s already highly accessible – frankly, deliciously crisp. Apple skin on the finish and a gentle touch of tannin.

A touch shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal notes of ripe apples, white peaches, and cedar with hints of wet slate and honeysuckle. The light to medium-bodied palate is racy with a silky texture and long stone fruit-laced finish.
