Description
The 2018 Clos Floridène Blanc is a superb expression of Graves white wines, offering a harmonious balance of freshness, richness, and aromatic complexity. Renowned for its elegant and precise style, this wine reveals the full nobility of the Graves terroir through a skillful blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Terroir
Clos Floridène benefits from limestone and gravel soils, typical of the Graves appellation. These soils provide the wine with beautiful minerality and balanced tension, while the vineyards’ ideal exposure ensures optimal ripening of the grapes.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright pale yellow with subtle golden highlights.
Nose: Intense and expressive, with aromas of white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach), citrus, and a floral touch of honeysuckle, complemented by toasted and mineral notes.
Palate: Rich and creamy, with a refreshing backbone. Flavors of ripe fruit and lemon zest blend with a velvety texture, leading to a long, saline-tinged finish.
Aging Potential
The 2018 Clos Floridène is delightful now for its brilliance and freshness but will develop greater complexity and depth over 5 to 10 years of cellaring.
Food Pairings
This wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, grilled or sauced fish, and roasted poultry. It also complements a platter of aged cheeses or more refined dishes like monkfish with vanilla.
