This has grip and energy, striking gooseberry and citrus fruits, cold ash and white pepper spices giving focus on the finish. One of the best Clos Floridène whites for years, and what a pleasure to taste. 93 Jane Anson.
The 2021 Clos Floridène Blanc is terrific. Dried flowers, mint, lemon confit, pear and ginger are all laced together. This nuanced, layered dry white from the Dubourdieu family is impossible to resist. The 2021 is a gorgeous Clos Floridène Blanc. 90-91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
The 2021 Clos Floridene Blanc has an endearing, well-defined, quite floral bouquet of vibrant citrus fruit complemented by white flowers. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation, and quite tensile. A twist of sour lemon lends energy on the finish. Just a delicious dry white Bordeaux. 90-92 Neal Martin.
