The 2023 Clos Floridene Blanc over-performs, yet again, with a lovely nose with bright, crisp Golden Delicious and Conference pear scents, an underlying mineralité that lends complexity. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that counterbalances the concentration locked into this white from the Dubourdieu family. Great length and given the price... a steal.

Cassis, plums and roasted spices on the nose. Tight-grained and slightly austere with some chewy tannins and a juicy, medium-long finish. A blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% merlot. Try from 2026.

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.
