Vins Blancs
185 Château de France Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan (L)
“This is both rich and racy, showing melded notes of yuzu, star fruit and verbena, with juicy acidity and a well-inlaid hint of fleur de sel. Offers lovely, rippling tension on the long finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2030.” 93 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 328462 6 bottle limit $60
186 Château La Garde Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan
“Taut and pure, with fleur de sel and blanched almond notes providing a spine, while lemon peel, yuzu and star fruit flavors course throughout. Focused, with a mouthwatering oyster shell echo hanging on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through
2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.” 92 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 372792
$70
187 Château Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan (L)
“More flamboyant and expressive than La Mission, the 2022 Haut-Brion Blanc reveals aromas of white fruits, spices, ripe orchard fruits and spring flowers. Full- bodied, seamless and fleshy, with bright acids and a pure, lively profile, it’s long and elegant, concluding with a saline, penetrating and delicately mordant finish.” 95 pts, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate 372720 1 bottle limit $1,700
