Note di degustazione
The 2017 Blanc has a nose of guava, spiced apples and nectarines with pie crust and chopped herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, clean, fresh and elegant with a racy finish.

The 2017 Brown Blanc feels rather muffled on the nose and lacks the clarity of its peers. The palate is slightly better with candied orange peel and light apricot notes. A commercially savvy white Pessac-Léognan, that its intellect is found wanting.
The 2017 Brown Blanc, matured in 60% new oak, has an appealing, tropical-tinged bouquet a tad oaky compared to its peers, though I feel that will be absorbed with time. The palate is creamy in texture, offset by a fine thread of acidity, not the most complex kid on the block and yet there is a caressing, almost lilting, honeyed finish mixed almond and praline that you cannot stop yourself falling for. Yes, it leans a little towards the commercial side, but its drinkability and potential enjoyment it will give cannot be denied.
