WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Complex aromas of citrus. Fresh on the palate, lively and mineral. Discreet ageing, slightly emphasized at the end by a hint of vanilla.
TASTING NOTES:
There’s brightness and clarity, with aromas of sliced apples, mangoes and some sea salt. Medium- to full-bodied with density and intensity. A serious wine that’s waxy and phenolic. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2023 La Garde Blanc offers a striking mix of varietal Sauvignon character and structure, a pretty appealing combination in my book. Lemon confit, chalk and white flowers sizzle with tension. There's lovely mid-palate creaminess that should only grow with time in bottle.

The 2023 Blanc from Château La Garde has turned out well in bottle, revealing aromas of confit citrus, white fruits, lemongrass and spring flowers. Moderately weighted and lively, it is built around a vibrant core of fruit animated by bright acidity, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish.
