En Primeur campaign for the 2024 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux) : A little orange marmalade, cream, sweet spice, oak, vanilla, slight apricot. Juicy with big botrytis hit up front but then drops away quite quickly, sugar levels are a little too high for the acid, touch of late harvest here as well, finish is quite warm though stated as 13.5%...I suspect this statement is a little lower than what's in the bottle.

White peaches, honey, pineapples, and vanilla, with mango accents, open the wine. Lush, fresh, apricots, candied orange, lemon curd, ginger, and honey fill the palate with creamy textures, and enough vibrancy to keep the wine feeling lifted in the finish. The wine blends 80% Semillon with 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2026-2047.

Pineapples, mango, vanilla, orange blossom, spice, and apricots work together to create the attention seeking perfume. On the palate, the wine is viscous, sweet, and intense. You find a wealth of honey-coated pineapples, apricots, mangos, marzipan, vanilla, and spice that are as creamy, and unctuous, as they are fresh, and vibrant. The wine blends 80% Semillon with 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2025-2047. 94-96 Pts.
