All Sauvignon Blanc the 2022 Les Champs Libres Blanc is straight-up brilliant and I'd easily put this in the top handful of whites in the vintage (and I'd say that for many vintages today as well). Honeyed flowers minty herbs crushed stone and citrus all define the aromatics and it's medium to full-bodied wth a beautifully layered seamless mouthfeel high acidity and a distinct salinity on the finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. This is a masterclass in world class Sauvignon Blanc that readers shouldn't miss if given the chance. - Jeb Dunnuck 05/23

Made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc the Les Champs Libres 2022 Blanc reveals aromas of verbena lemon oil kumquat jasmine spring flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied fleshy and incisive it?s built around bright racy acids and has an ultra-refined texture along with a resonant perfumed finish. This gorgeous Les Champs Libres represents the essence of what can be produced with grapes coming from a great limestone terroir that also benefit from the impressive expertise of the Guinaudeau family.

The 2022 Les Champs Libres was picked on 24 August. Very delicate and refined on the nose this opens beautifully with white peach and orange blossom and again hints of wild peach coming through with time. The palate is well-defined with a touch of stem ginger almost Burgundian toward the finish. The peach theme continues with hints of ginger and a touch of almond. This is going to be completely irresistible - don't say I didn't warn you. - By Neal Martin on April 2023
