Clear and brilliant, with an intense yellow color and golden highlights. Aromas typical of Sauvignon Blanc (lemon and blackcurrant buds) dominate on the nose, accompanied by notes of white flowers and orange blossom imparted by Muscadelle. Tropical fruit and citrus flavors come to the fore on the palate. Notes of lemon and grapefruit emerge, mingled with nuances of fleshy white fruit such as pear and lychee. Delicious, round, attractive and fruity on the palate. The rich and concentrated texture is underpinned by a thirst-quenching minerality. The incredibly long aftertaste showcases the complexity of this wine, with ripe fruit flavors balanced out by a lovely vivaciousness. All in all, a gourmet, refined wine with a great deal of tension and elegance.

Clarendelle Bordeaux White is inspired by the subtle structure of Domaine Clarence Dillon white wines, containing the unique mystery of its rare and illustrious cousins. Clarendelle Bordeaux White is a delicate blend of two traditional Bordeaux varietals, Sémillon and Sauvignon, to which, in some years, a flourish of Muscadelle may be added.

Under the same ownership as the First-Growth Château Haut Brion, the wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. Ripe, with peach-juice aromas, it has a lightly honeyed character and a spicy aftertaste. Drink now. -R.V.
