VINS BLANCS
133. Aile d'Argent Blanc, Bordeaux “A very exotic Aile d’Argent with dried-mango, fresh-pineapple, and sliced-lemon aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very ripe, yet it’s framed by bright acidity. Tangy and vivid with a long, intense finish. Exciting. Contrastive. 38% semillon and the rest
sauvignon blanc and gris.” (97-98) pts, James Suckling 76172

134. Les Arums de Lagrange Blanc, Bordeaux “The 2019 Les Arums de Lagrange, the white cuvée from the Saint-Julien estate, offers attractive lime and yellow flower scents, a touch of almond in the background. The palate is nicely balanced with a dab of lemongrass on the entry. Moderate weight with discrete tropical notes sing from the wings on the finish. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2025.” 89 pts, Vinous 390889 $65 135. Blanc de Lynch-Bages, Bordeaux (L) “Very bright, with breezy honeysuckle, white peach and lemon peel notes streaming through, followed by a late peck of brioche on the finish. A crowd-pleaser. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. Drink now through 2022.” 90 pts, Wine Spectator 76177 6 bottle limit $120 136. Château Carbonnieux Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “A great Carbonnieux, with careful balance of juicy, salt-edged minerality and creamy nectarine and apricot fruits. Always a real highlight of the whites of the appellation and delivering another hit in 2019.” 93 pts, Decanter 390711 $85
