Score 90/100 · Drink 2020-2028, Neal Martin, Jan 2019

The 2016 La Garde Blanc offers scents of melted butter and crème fraîche and hints of Golden Delicious apple that gain delineation with aeration. The palate is very zesty on the entry, displaying orange pith, peach and light apricot notes. While not the most complex white Pessac-Léognan, this exudes energy and joy – and what’s wrong with that?

Beautiful aromas of dried lemons, peaches, and cooked apples. Hints of cream. Lime at the end. Full body, yet agile and very fresh. Bright and electric. Salty undertones. A blend of 86 per cent sauvignon blanc and 14 per cent semillon.

The 2016 Blanc has very pretty peach blossoms, pink grapefruit and pineapple notes with touches of musk perfume and jasmine. The palate is medium-bodied with a lively line cutting through the intense stone fruit and tropical flavors, finishing long.
