Denis Dubourdieu is the brilliant white wine-making guru of Bordeaux who remains faithful to a classic style with all the elegance and purity the terroir has to offer. As Robert Parker correctly notes:
“One taste of the wonderful wines Dubourdieu makes reveals that Clos Floridene is a superb white Graves, nearly matching the quality of such legends as Laville Haut Brion, Haut Brion Blanc, and Domaine de Chevalier. The price remains a relative steal,…This is a terribly underestimated, excellent wine that deserves to be a classified growth in the Graves firmament."
Happy to Offer
2013 Clos Floridene Blanc Graves $360 case
Blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc vines planted on limestone soil.
90-92 Points Robert Parker "Lots of orange marmalade and lemon blossom notes intermixed with honeyed grapefruit, fig and melon aromas jump from the glass of this impeccably well-made, outstanding white Graves. Dry, zesty and perfumed with impressive concentration, this offering from proprietor Denis Dubourdieu is terrific. It should drink well for 5-7 years."
