Bright and lively in the glass, tangy and sharp but so well balanced with intensity yet softness, getting the liveliness and energy but also complexity of flavor - lemon, pineapple, apricot and peach - sharp, almost sour, so tangy and zesty in the glass just shining brightly. This is extremely aromatic and flavorful with a persistence that lasts the whole way through. I also like the really soft honeyed lemon touch that runs underneath the more overt acidity. A solid effort.

This has grip and energy, striking gooseberry and citrus fruits, cold ash and white pepper spices giving focus on the finish. One of the best Clos Floridène whites for years, and what a pleasure to taste. 25% new oak and lees stirring

The 2021 Clos Floridène Blanc is terrific. Dried flowers, mint, lemon confit, pear and ginger are all laced together. This nuanced, layered dry white from the Dubourdieu family is impossible to resist. The 2021 is a gorgeous Clos Floridène Blanc.

A lively offering, with mâche and white peach notes darting through. Superclean and refreshing in feel. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

The 2021 Clos Floridène Blanc has a commendable bouquet of white-flower-tinged citrus fruit, gaining vigor in the glass with each swirl. The palate is well-balanced with a tangy entry - mango and persimmon, becoming peachier toward the well-defined finish. This is a delicious white Pessac that will be difficult to resist in its youth.
