Floral scents, dried herbs, lemon patisserie, stone fruit and sweet caramel notes. Alive and so vibrant on the palate, really juicy but also so thrilling, electric with a push of zesty fruits with orange rind, grapefruit, peach and apple at the fore edged by toast and baking spices. Clean, crisp and lots going on. Feels well worked and nicely presented with such energy and motion. 19% Viognier completes the blend. Eric Boissenot consultant.

The 2022 Château du Tertre Blanc has a lovely melon, tangerine and nectarine-scented bouquet with a light cream tincture. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, perhaps not quite coming up to the caliber of the aromatics, though there is decent weight and ample freshness. Enjoy this after two to three years.

Love the shape and energy of this white, with an emphasis on fresh citrus and stone fruits, rounded out by more subtle waves of white tea, pink grapefruit and sage. Unusual, juicy with plenty of grip, it seems less touched by the vintage than many whites in the region. Eric Boissenot and Marco Balsimelli consultants.

The 2022 du Tertre Blanc is a blend of 23% Chardonnay, 19% Viognier, and 39% Gros Manseng. It sashays out with fantastically fragrant notes of juicy peaches, honeysuckle, and grapefruit oil, plus suggestions of beeswax and Marcona almonds. The medium-bodied palate has a great intensity of citrus and stone fruit flavors with a lively line of freshness and a long, perfumed finish. Love it.

The 2022 du Tertre Blanc offers up aromas of exotic fruits, pastry cream and passionflower, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and aromatic palate that retains impressive cut and freshness for the vintage. As usual, it's an idiosyncratic blend of Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Viognier, with the former representing 35% of the total this year.
