2016 Lynch-Bages Blanc, Bordeaux

This offers more proof that the whites in the Médoc 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. (JA)

An exquisite example of Bordeaux Blanc. Citrus, guava, peaches and honey, and a palate that is rich with lanolin, and incredibly fresh due to its perfect acidity. Very well made. I would certainly suggest pairing this with a lobster dish with a rich sauce.
