Croquant, juteux, vif, voici un fruit sans variétalité, immédiat, allègre, presque désinvolte mais faisant pourtant montre d’une certaine allonge et de profondeur.

Skips out with easy-going scents of fresh limes and yuzu, leading to wafts of sea spray, wild thyme, and dill seed. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity with nice suggestions of phenolic texture, vibrant citrus flavors, and a super-crisp backbone, finishing long and steely.

Ripe citrus, exotic tropical fruits, and floral notes all emerge from the 2024 Clos Marsalette Blanc, a sweetly fruited, round, delicious, easy-going white that's going to shine right out of the gate.

Quite a minerally expression, with lots of lemon zest and a touch of sea salt. A medium-bodied white with bright acidity and a light saline touch in the lengthy finish. 54% sauvignon blanc and 46% semillon.

Burgundisch anmutend im Duft, Feuerstein und strahlende Apfel-Frucht, steinige Noten; delikat am Gaumen, leicht cremig im Auftakt, zeigt Rasse, Schliff, gut verpackte Säure, hat Zug und Länge, endet salin. Jahr für Jahr sehr gut.

The 2024 Clos Marsalette Blanc was picked from September 12 to 17 at 50 hl/ha and matured in 20% new oak barrels. This has a pleasing bright yellow plum-scented bouquet with touches of orange pith and chai coming through with time. The palate is well balanced and fresh, with crisp acidity and a brisk, apple-tinged finish. Drink this over three or four years.

The 2024 Clos Marsalette Blanc is terrific. Creamy and pliant, with striking depth, this has a lot to offer. Orchard fruit, chamomile, dried flowers, mint and spice build effortlessly. I especially admire the wine's textural intrigue and palate presence. This is a terrific Clos Marsalette Blanc.

White peaches, green apples, flowers, vanilla, and honeysuckle form the core of the wine. Fresh, vibrant, crisp, and tropical, the pineapples in the finish are the perfect touch, wrapping everything up nicely. The wine blends 54% Sauvignon Blanc with 46% Semillon. Drink from 2027-2031.

Very pale yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate hints of grapefruit and honey blossom, white peach, nuances of pineapple, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, white tropical fruit, fine sweetness, good freshness, salty and persistent, good certain ageing potential.
