Clos Marsalette - Pessac-Leognan Blanc 2021 (750ml) Lacrima

Clos Marsalette - Pessac-Leognan Blanc 2021 (750ml) LacrimaThe 2021 Clos Marsalette Blanc is 60% Sauvignon and 40% Semillon, and it's unquestionably another gorgeous 2021 white. White peach, pear, flowers, and a beautiful sense of chalky, almost salty minerality give way to a medium bodied, vibrant white that has bright acidity, the purity and precision that's common in the vintage, and a great finish. I love it. 94 Points
