Produced by Jonathan Maltus, who also makes the superstar Saint-Emilion wine, Le Dôme, this is a beautifully crafted wine that brings together tropical fruits, flavors of quince and creamy vanilla. There is some good acidity, despite the hot year, which brings everything into balance.

89-91 Barrel sample. A great, fresh fruity wine, packed with grapefruit and lime, topped by yellow fruits, the finish with a waft of acidity. A well-structured, but eminently fruity wine.

Toasty, creamy, almost Burgundian in its richness, this wood and tropical fruit dominated wine is rich and full, but has also managed to preserve freshness. Alongside the acidity, there is concentration, and a lively twist of green herbs.

With its flavor that edges toward oxidative, this is the antithesis of easy, fruity white Bordeaux. That makes it an edgy, exciting wine, with spice, ginger and lychee flavors adding to the caramel wood over green plums.

Fresher than in previous vintages, with a lighter touch. There is citrus, a touch of nutmeg and toast. Grapefruit and ripe pear complete this light-hearted wine.

89-91 Barrel sample. Very fresh. With just a light touch of wood spice, and a great burst of citrus, grapefruit, a little lychee from Muscadelle.

89-91 Herbaceous and fresh, the wine has a grassy character with a citrus edge, spice and grapefruit. It is lively and refreshing.

A low-production, low-yield white from a vineyard in the Entre-deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. The result tastes more like a Pessac-Léognan, with its rich, creamy apple and pear flavors, its new wood and its concentration. Great acidity provides the essential backbone to this rich wine.
