Cellar/Tasting Notes
Possibly the best dry white the estate has produced since the proprietors, the Cathiards, acquired the property in 1990, this wine exhibits a sensational fragrance of buttered citrus, honeyed melons and a touch of grapefruit, lemon zest and orange rind. It also displays grapefruit on the attack and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 is similar to the 1996 Branaire, but with sweeter fruit. Coats the palate with beautiful purity, no hard edges, ripe tannin, and intense fruit. This elegant, layered, impressive offering will be at its peak between 2012-2025."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
" An extremely pretty nose exhibits a well-layered aromatic profile of liqueur of red berry fruit, earth and soft spice scents that is trimmed in just enough wood toast to notice. There is a seductive consistency to the solidly well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that ooze a fine dry extract..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Light, bright gold. Spicy citrus and pit fruits on the nose, complicated by ginger, toasted grain and a touch of honey. A sappy, somewhat hefty Champagne whose juicy pear, peach and candied orange flavors are lifted by gentle acidity. The pear and orange notes repeat on the nicely persistent,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The exceptional freshness of the 2010 vintage is more than apparent here with a restrained and cool nose of intensely earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas that also display forest floor and humus notes. There is outstanding concentration to the extract-rich broad-shouldered flavors that display..

JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Offers beautiful blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes intermixed with toasty new oak, spring flowers, lovely fruit, and fine length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This behemoth possesses massive extraction, an opaque purple color, huge density, extreme tannins, and a nearly endless finish. Everything is there, but the highly extracted style and off the chart tannins ensures that no one over the age of forty will ever see this wine hit full maturity...
