Tasting Notes

This white shows lots of lemon, lime and sliced-green-pineapple character. Full body, bright acidity and a clean, fresh finish. Very mineral and intense. Powerful backbone of fruit. Fab. 66% sauvignon blanc, 12% sémillon and 22% muscadelle. Production about 1,500 cases. Drink now or hold.

The Blanc de Lynch Bages is a blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon and 22% Muscadelle raised in 50% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with lime, green apple, chalk dust and a touch of white peach. The palate is well balanced on the entry with the oak nicely assimilated, leading to a poised finish that shows nice weight and persistency. Tasted April 2012.

Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit. Complex aftertaste of spices, pie crust, and lemon meringue. Fab. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 22% Muscadelle. Production about 1,500 cases, or so.
