Tasting notes
The super fresh, citrus fruit-salad character makes this medium-bodied white very attractive with a very clean, long finish that has plenty of energy. A blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon. Drink now.

The Ferran 2016 Blanc had a rather austere bouquet with pink grapefruit and citrus peel aromas that show a little more delineation than its peers. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, fine tension with a pleasant salinity towards the finish. Whilst not a bumper year for dry white Bordeaux, this is a very commendable effort and is worth checking out.
Tight and dense with sliced-lemon and apple character. Medium to full body, a creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Bright acidity. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
