2015 Brown Blanc

The 2015 Brown Blanc has a lively, showy bouquet with lime cordial and freshly squeezed grapefruit scents that are neatly entwined with the new oak. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, tropical tones of nectarine, Clementine and peach rending this almost drinkable now. It is well balanced and displays fine length, a white Pessac that should give great pleasure over the next 12-15 years.

A tangy white with sliced apple, lemon and pear aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, lovely phenolic tension and a bright finish. Mar 2016, JamesSuckling.com

This takes a rich approach, with shortbread, salted butter and lemon curd notes, showing plenty of zip from gooseberry and verbena details. The long finish has some pizzazz. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
