Expert Notes
Robert Parker: 93A blend of two-thirds Sauvignon Gris and one-third Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Elevage Blanc is fermented and aged in equal parts new French oak barrels, used barrels and stainless steel “barrels.” Scents of pencil shavings frame ripe fig and pear notes on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palateJames Suckling: 92The nose is discrete and minerally, with aromas of crushed stones, nectarines and lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, showing notes of orange blossoms, honeydew melon and lemon pith. A blend of 66% sauvignon gris and 34% sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold.Wine Spectator: 92Shows plenty of personality, with a smooth, supple texture and a juicy thread of acidity that are a wonderful backdrop for the flavors of dried pear, jasmine, white nectarine and green tea.Wine Enthusiast: 92
