Always terrific, the 2023 Château Marjosse Blanc is no exception and has vibrant crushed citrus, lemon zest, and minty herb notes in its medium-bodied, bright, racy, mineral-driven profile. It's a beautiful white well worth seeking out.

On the nose: white fruits such as pear, white peach, lychee; citrus (lime, grapefruit); floral hints; some herbal/mineral notes (mint, white pepper) appear.
-
On the palate: fresh, crisp, lively acidity; medium-bodied; mineral-driven finish; salty/mineral hint toward the end; good tension.
-
Texture: there’s balance between freshness (from Sauvignon) and richness/body (from Sémillon). Not heavily oaky
