Clos Floridene blanc 2019

- Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2019 Blanc reveals an enticing nose of fresh lime juice, yuzu zest and pink grapefruit with wafts of coriander seed and shaved almonds. The medium-bodied palate has a seriously racy line of freshness cutting through the intense citrus layers, finishing on a chalky note."

- 93 Punkte und „Editor’s Choice“ WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: „The late Denis Dubourdieu was a leader in developing Bordeaux white wines. His family carries on his legacy in this smooth, creamy and rounded wine. Acidity and fresh citrus come through at the end. Drink from 2023.“

- 90-92 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2019 Clos Floridène Blanc is a gorgeous, distinctive white. Bright acids bring freshness to the ripe orchard and tropical fruit flavors. Pear, white peach, passionfruit and jasmine give the Blanc an intensely aromatic profile that is beguiling. Creamy and open-knit, the Blanc will be immensely enjoyable upon release."

- 90-92 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2019 Clos Floridene Blanc offers intense scents of apple blossom, freshly sliced pear and yellow flowers. Wonderful. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, slightly tangy in the mouth and impressive depth and vigour on the finish. Excellent."

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "This is delicious, a serious step up from the Reynon within the same stable, and speaks to the influence that terroir has on a wine - this is slate and crushed granite showing grip through the palate, and the citrus has plenty of zest to give it focus and lift. Juicy finish also, excellent wine from Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu. 25% new oak. Drinking Window 2020 – 2030"

Feingliedriger, frischer Gaumen mit feiner, süsser Frucht, gut eingebundener Säure, kräftiger, frischer Aromatik, langer, feinherber Abgang."

- 90-91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "A fresh, lemony white with green-apple and white-peach undertones. It’s medium-bodied, delicious and clean."

- 17 Punkte WEINWISSER: "55 % Sémillon, 45 % Sauvignon Blanc. Frisches Bouquet mit Grapefruit und Grünteeextrakt. Am eleganten Gaumen mit nerviger Rasse, viel Dynamik zeigend. Im gebündelten Finale Agrumen und Wachsnoten."

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Andy Howard: „Clos Floridène – a consistently high-quality 40ha estate – lies on the calcareous plateau near Barsac. From the Dubourdieu stable, this is a fitting tribute to the late Denis Dubourdieu. The 2019 is a blend of 55% Semillon, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, rich and smooth on the palate with notes of green apple and apricot, aromas of wild herbs, subtle, complex layers of toasted macadamia and lightly roasted confit lemon.
