Critics Ratings

'Lovely, with lemon shortbread, chartreuse, yellow apple and makrut lime notes, layered seamlessly and backed by a long echo of quinine on the finish.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2014)

'The 2012 Clos Floridène Blanc has a respectable, chalk and lemon zest nose, a touch of peach in the background lending more complexity. The palate is well balanced with traces of lemon and orange rind, quite linear with a marine-influenced, Muscadet-like finish. This delicious white Bordeaux, one of the best values around, will drink supremely well over the next decade or so.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Jan 2016)
