JAMES SUCKLING: "A vivid white with mango, lemon and peach aromas. Exotic yet fresh. Pear drop. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Juicy and clean. Always wonderful to drink, but can improve with age."

WEINWISSER: "52 % Sauvignon Blanc, 30 % Sémillon, 18 % Muscadelle. 45 % neue Barriques. Delikates Bouquet mit duftigen Stachelbeeren und Zitronencreme, dahinter Pink Grapefruit. Am schlanken, mineralischen Gaumen mit etwas Feuerstein und kalkigen Noten, endet in einem sehr präzisen Finale."

DECANTER: "This offers more proof that the whites in the MĂ©doc have resisted the heat of August. The pH here is 3.01, and certainly the impression in the glass is of beautiful freshness with a creamy mid-palate of white peaches, honeysuckle and gentle citrus sorbet. Fermented at a low temperature in a combination of stainless steel, one year old barrels and 45% new oak with a very light toast, this is very delicate and extremely pretty. A blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon and 18% Muscadelle."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Crisp, fresh, citrus, flowers, lime and green apple notes, with a round, sweet, appealing, crunchy, yellow citrus finish are what you'll find here."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2016 Blanc de Lynch-Bages delivers notions of ripe apples, spiced pears and lemon pie with touches of lime zest and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied with super intensity in the mouth, it has a seriously zesty palate and a long refreshing finish."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The light gold-colored 2016 Blanc de Lynch Bages has a classic, honeyed minerality and white grapefruit perfume that’s followed by a clean, medium-bodied, vibrant white that’s already drinking beautifully."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Delivers piercing purity, featuring lime pith, quinine, white peach and fennel notes streaming through on a tight balance beam, with mouthwatering fleur de sel details echoing on the finish. Will develop a touch, but appealing at this current stage. This has knit nicely since the barrel tasting. Drink now through 2022."
