We've seen an explosive growth in sales of white Bordeaux over the past three years. You're getting this email because you've bought some! While most of what we have sold has been under $22, my elaborate scheme was to get you just hooked enough for this one... bwah, ha, ha! (cue sinister laugh...)

Anyway, I have just 21 bottles... just arrived and no home for them. Want some?

“The 2018 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc checks in as 75% Sauvignon and 25% Sémillon that was brought up in 25% new French oak. It has a classic (and terrific) nose of honeyed grapefruit, exotic flowers, and a liquid rock-like minerality. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Bordeaux Blanc with a rounded, expansive texture, nicely integrated acidity, terrific overall balance, and a great, dry, crisp finish. It's already drinking nicely, and while I wouldn't push the aging curve, I wouldn't bet against it drinking brilliant for 15 years either.” JD

“Rich with a spectrum of fruit flavors from citrus to tropical, this wine also has toasty flavors. The combination has produced a ripe wine with great promise.” WE

“Attractive aromas of lime blossom, acacia, lemon curd, dried pineapple and herbs. It’s medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity. Beeswax and white truffle on the finish. Dense and complex. “ JS

“Larrivet Haut-Brion's 2018 Blanc bursts with expressive pineapple, Bosc pears and melon scents with hints of pink grapefruit, lime zest and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully exotic, packed with tropical fruit and citrus layers, supported by a racy backbone and finishing with a spicy kick.” WA
