Thoroughly tasty, plenty of creamy white pear fruit with citrus character, clove spice, and a healthy amount of slate scrape and juice on the finish. 27ha. Creamy gold colour, one month ageing on the lees, Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu.

The 2023 Clos Floridène Blanc is a heady dry white from the Dubourdieu family. Tangerine peel, chamomile, apricot and honeyed notes build in a creamy, layered white that shows the richer side of the year. Readers will find a voluptuous, extroverted wine that will shine at its brightest at the dinner table.

The 2023 Clos Floridène Blanc has a lively and well-defined bouquet with yellow fruit, Granny Smith and light stony aromas. The palate is fresh and crisp with grapefruit and orange rind notes. It’s a little pithier than its peers, with a slightly resinous finish. Fine.
