Chateau Lynch Bages - Chateau Lynch Bages blanc 2018

WEINWISSER: "59 % Sauvignon Blanc, 21 % Sémillon, 20 % Muscadelle, 50 % neue Barriques. Helles Gelb. Duftiges Bouquet nach Pampelmuse, Mandarine und Zitronengras, dahinter spürbare Mineralik und Limonenessenz. Am schlanken Gaumen mit fleischigem Extrakt, guter Frische und viel Dynamik. Im aromatischen Finale weisse Blüten, Litschi und ein Touch Weingartenpfirsich. Dieser Weisswein hat eine grosse Fangemeinde und ist daher sehr gesucht."

DECANTER: "A balanced, juicy, slate-filled mineral edge here, with a crisp shot of mint. Has a lovely balance of rich texture and acidity, with lime blossom and citrus."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Just picked honeysuckle, orange rind, Granny Smith apples and vanilla are a treat to smell. Packed with citrus on the palate, the lemon chiffon finish is perfect for current drinking. The wine is a blend of 59% Sauvignon Blanc, 21% Semillon, and 20% Muscadelle."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A fresh and fruity white with sliced-apple and lemon character. Layered and a hint of tannic texture. Lemon zest and lots of energy."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2018 Blanc de Lynch Bages is showing a little reduction, opening out to notions of warm peaches, passion fruit and gooseberries plus suggestions of honeysuckle, coriander seed and chalk dust. Medium-bodied, the palate is completely filled with tropical and citrus flavors plus a racy backbone, finishing long with a touch of chalkiness."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Pretty pineapple, white grapefruit, and a touch of chalky minerality emerge from the 2018 Château Lynch-Bages Blanc, a fresh, lively white that has a bright spine of acidity, medium-bodied richness, and a crisp, clean finish. Drink this outstanding Bordeaux Blanc over the coming 2-4 years or so."
