This just blew every other white we tasted out of the water. Made from 87% Sémillon and 13% Sauvignon Blanc, the perfect climate conditions have helped create an absolute gem. The wine is marked by a wonderful harmony and elegance; white peach, passion fruit, citrus and cream all combine in a glorious, pure, racy style, while the minerality is reminiscent of Burgundy's superstars Coche-Dury and Leflaive. The nose is creamy, pure and expressive while the sleek, exotic palate builds in the mouth to a stunning finish. This is the white wine of the vintage, without a shadow of doubt.

The price of this wine is such that I can't help thinking what sort of white Burgundy I could get for the same price: an unfair comparison perhaps but I can't help it. That said, the 2006 delivers. The concentration and weight are very impressive, with crisp acidity underlining a peachy nose. An excellent wine that will age well for those with the patience to leave it in the cellar.

An absolutely textbook great white Graves made from 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and aged nine months on its lees, this is a prodigious effort displaying notes of white flowers, currants, honeyed citrus, fig, and crushed rocks. The wine is very pure, with full body and high acidity, in a backward, almost tannic style. Give this wine at least 8-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30 years.
