2023 Chateau La Garde BLANC - Pessac (750ml)

An outstanding value from the Dourthe-owned estate on one of Pessac-Léognan's finest gravel outcrops — and 2023 is cited as one of the château's best vintages. Sauvignon Blanc on limestone drives this sculpted dry white — lemon confit, white pepper, apricot, and tangerine peel build in the glass, with lees-stirring adding texture to play off the wine's salivating acid profile. Pretty, tense, and intensely charged with fresh citrus, linden, grapefruit, elderflower, and apple blossom — pure, precise, and crystalline. A Pessac-Léognan Blanc that consistently punches above its price and competes with bottles costing two to three times as much. Drink now–2031
