137. La Clarté de Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “Gorgeous aromas of mango, pineapple, lime and dusty stone follow through to a medium-bodied palate with a creamy, ultra-fine texture. Flavorful and beautiful. Wonderful length. Extremely racy and fine in the mouth. Drink after 2025.” 94 pts, James Suckling 39517 $200 138. Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent, Bordeaux “Pure white peach, tart pineapple, white flowers, and chalky mineral notes all emerge from the 2019 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Argent Blanc, a Semillon-dominated, medium-bodied, concentrated, wonderfully textured white. This is well worth your time and money, and I suspect it will have a decade of longevity.” 93 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 390951 $40 139. Clos Floridène Blanc, Graves “This is delicious, a serious step up from the Reynon within the same stable, and speaks to the influence that terroir has on a wine - this is slate and crushed granite showing grip through the palate, and the citrus has plenty of zest to give it focus and lift. Juicy finish also, excellent wine from Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu. 25% new oak.” 93 pts, Decanter 390749 $45 140. L'Esprit de Chevalier Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “While the second wine of the estate, the 2019 L'Esprit De Chevalier Blanc is terrific and offers a beautiful sense of salty minerality as well as lots of citrus blossom, white flowers, and a hint of lime. It tastes like a mini-Chevalier Blanc and is medium- bodied, has bright acidity, and a great finish. It's going to keep for a decade. It's going to be a brilliant value and is the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted.” 94 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 390702 $65
