Ample on the attack and layered, almost like a cascading cliff face made of well-defined vertical strata, each here interspersed with juicy, sapid confit and freshly squeezed citrus notes. Radiant and luxurious in its precision and in its glassy mid-palate this is likely to prove exceptional value – not for the first time.
Oily and textured in the glass, the 2024 Clos Floridene Blanc offers up scents of mint, apricot, dried flowers, chamomile and spice, with light tropical overtones that hold it all together. This is a gorgeous dry white from the Dubourdieu family.
Exotic fruits, apricot and white peach aromatics, nectarne juice and citrus, this is very tasty, with slate kick and lift, and is a consistent performer in white Bordeaux.
