Vins Blancs
191 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, Margaux (L)
“Opulent and delicious with lots of green mango and pineapple aromas and flavors. Smoked cream and green apples. Showing salty, briny character, it’s dense but not heavy, flavorful and very long. Pear-drop candy at the end. Pure sauvignon blanc, as always. Rich yet lively and wonderful. Feels like a great Montrachet. One for the cellar… You just want to drink it. Drink or hold.” 99 pts, James Suckling 364086 1 bottle limit $750
192 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan (L) “This shimmers with a salted butter note that adds a flattering edge to its panoply of shortbread, singed almond,
honeysuckle, lemon curd and creamed white peach flavors. Feels regal, with a long finish that deftly toes the balance between the toasted and fresh, unadorned sides of the spectrum. A rare dry white that can handle all four seasons as anything from a solo aperitif to a main course partner. Beautiful. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and
Sauvignon Gris. Drink now through 2035.” 97 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 306569 6 bottle limit
