Château George 7, AOC Bordeaux Blanc-C328

Lemon-green hue. Accomplished nose with layers of ripe citrus and stone fruit, including lemon, orange, tangerine, and sweet spice, plus vanilla, cedar and clove. The palate weaves stone fruit notes of peach and apricot with diverse apple and passionfruit, and there is cinnamon and clove from oak maturation. In the mouth this shows that lovely tension between acidity, oak and fruit, and the length is impressive with the focussed acidity keeping the fruit in line. It finishes with a flourish, showing floral, citrus and stone fruit aromas allied to balanced oak. Hard to resist. 2026-2029 – JA
