Tasting notes
Exotic citrus, grapefruit, mint, crushed stone, and a clean, classy sense of reduction all emerge from the 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc, a medium-bodied, bright, fresh, and racy white with a clean, lengthy finish. Based on 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Semillon and raised in 20% new French oak, it will shine on the dinner table and should have 10-15 years of overall longevity given its acidity and balance. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc is creamy and expansive on the palate. Passion fruit, tangerine peel, citrus confit and white flowers build in a resonant, exotic dry white. Drink it over the next few years.
The 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc is slightly deeper in color than its peers. Attractive nose with yellow fruit, grapefruit and light, waxy scents. The palate is well balanced with a bright opening. Modest depth, a little honeyed on the mid-palate with tropical tones on the finish that just needs a little more bite.
The 2023 Clos Marsalette Blanc is based on 56% Sauvignon and 44% Semillon. It has a classic Graves nose of ripe citrus, honeyed grapefruit, and hints of chalky minerality. This carries to a medium-bodied fresh and focused white offering notable richness and depth, bright acidity, and a good finish.
