By the glass at the BA lounge, not a fresh bottle and could have been a touch more chilled. Straight on this feeling of a sweetish grapefruit hits you, green citrus notes, firm core of acidity, quite polished and well made wine.pretty solid. 90

Fresh grapefruit, lemon peel and green apple help to combine sweetness, crisp refreshing acidity and a stony, yellow citrus filled finish.

La Louvière and Couhins Lurton: verticals in red and white (Château La Louvière) : More nuanced than the La Louviere Blanc of the same vintage. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Seems more expressive. Notions of white pepper even if it is also quite lemon like… Very contoured mid palate leading to a medium plus finish. Lovely.

La Louvière and Couhins Lurton: verticals in red and white (Château La Louvière) : Compared to the 1993, a bit more tired. It has character – please, don’t get me wrong. Unfortunately, it comes after the magnificent 1993. A touch of kerosene, perhaps, as a BBR buyer, who was at the tasting, put it. But good energy and it rather kicks ass for a 30 year old dry white.

Medium bodied, with a grapefruit and lemon peel character, drink this fresh citrusy wine on the young side. 88-90 Pts

First day of en primeur Bordeaux 2013 (Château Bellefont-Belcier) : Lovely intensity and purity of fruit, very citrus but also substance. This came out to be perhaps the best dry white I tried today. Bravo to the Lurtons!
