Terroir: Terres Blanches soils – marls and clays over Kimmeridgian limestone
2022 Les Boucauds 92-94VM
Sourced from 10-50-year-old vines from a few plots in the Les Boucauds lieu-dit. This cuvée employs close to 50% of the Sauvignon Blanc planted on the estate. Entirely from Terres Blanches soils – marls and clays over Kimmeridgian limestone – this wine represents a pure expression of this site. Fermented and aged on the lees in 50% steel and 50% neutral French oak 600L barrels (7-8 months).
92-94 Vinous Media
The 2022 Les Boucauds sashays around the mouth. It is rich and rounded, possibly due to the deep clays on this clay limestone with a ripe, almost tropical aromatic profile offering melon, pear and pineapple alongside white flowers. A rather satisfying style that remains in barrel and will be blended in the summer of 2023.
