The Les Champs Libres 2019 Blanc wafts from the glass with notes of lime blossom citrus zest wet stones and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied taut and incisive it's chalky and concentrated with racy acids lovely structuring dry extract and a long mineral finish. It's produced from Sancerrois massal selections of Sauvignon Blanc (and now a tiny percentage of Sémillon too) planted on deep clay soils on the slopes at Grand Village the Guinaudeau family having sagely concluded that clay is as essential to a great white wine as limestone. Like many of this family's wines it makes a mockery of Bordeaux's traditional hierarchy.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2019 Les Champs Libres which is pure Sauvignon Blanc has a delightful bouquet of lemon sherbet honeysuckle orange blossom and beeswax. The palate is beautifully balanced with a saline entry and orange zest and pear flavors building in intensity and leading to a vibrant harmonious almost Aligoté-like finish. This is an absolutely delicious quite thought-provoking Les Champs Libres from the Guinaudeaus.
