WEINWISSER: "40 % Sauvignon Blanc, 41 % Sémillon, 19 % Muscadelle. Helles Gelb. Duftige weisse Nektarine und Renekloden, dahinter Mirabellen und Pomelo. Am schlanken Gaumen mit stützender Frische und anregender Textur. Anregende Zitronencreme und Agrumen im feinnervigen Finale. Ein Weisswein mit grosser Fangemeinde – daher immer schwieriger zu finden."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A dense and fresh white at the same time with cooked apples, lemon rind and minerals. Bright and vivid yet shows depth and seriousness. Phenolic and vivid. Hints of fresh herbs. Drink or hold."

DECANTER: "Utterly gorgeous freshness and zip, with intensity of flavour. It has a little more Sémillon than usual, due to frost affect the Sauvignon Blanc, which seems to mean the aromatics of the Muscadelle are a little more prominent than a classic Lynch Bages Blanc, adding a white flower honeysuckle lift. It is beautiful and works within the cascade of flavours, although I miss their more classic blend - they probably do too, to be fair. Already bottled. 45% new oak. Harvested 4 September to 8 September."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Vanilla, citrus, lime and green apple create a fresh, bright, citrus-filled package. Vibrant pomelo sticks with you through the refreshing finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2017 Blanc de Lynch Bages, already bottled, is a blend of 41% Sémillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc and 19% Muscadelle. It leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of white peaches, pink grapefruit and passion fruit plus hints of dried herbs, cedar and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, elegantly played and wonderfully refreshing in the mouth, it has a quiet intensity that grows into a vibrant expression on the finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Peach, white ginger, jasmine and quince notes mingle in this juicy, offbeat white. Streaks of honeysuckle and orange blossom show on the finish. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Drink now through 2023. — JM"
