Hay, straw, lemon, green apple, and elderflower with a waxy, floral nuance. Incredibly zingy and electric on the palate, bursting with freshness and crystalline purity. Mouthwatering acidity, a touch of bitterness, and exhilarating intensity create a thrilling experience. Crisp green apple, pear, pineapple, and tropical fruit remain sharp, clean, and focused. The texture is flawless, keeping your attention from start to finish. So much verve, character, and precision - it’s simply captivating. A truly fabulous white with endless energy.

This is so gorgeous already, showing white peaches and lemon blossoms with sliced-citrus character. Medium-bodied, this has attractive flamboyant fruit but a splendid energy from the backbone of acidity. This will age beautifully. Pure sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold.

Reserved aromatics on the opening, an undertow of gunsmoke and slate, there is flesh here but it's contained, a promise for future years. Exceptional grip and lift, cool lemongrass set against fleshier white peach, pumice stone, fennel, oyster shell and white tea, strong personality, great contrast of textures, this climbs through the palate. August 24 harvest. Vines come partly massal selection Bordeaux, partly massal selection from Sancerre. Cool clay soils. Fast becoming an unmissable white Bordeaux, from the Guinaudeau family. Harvest 23 to 25 August. A buy.

Another incredible white from the Guinaudeau family, the 2022 Les Champs Libres Blanc is based on 100% Sauvignon Blanc brought up in a mix of new and used oak, It delivers lemon, pineapple, honeysuckle, crushed stone, and white flowers as well as a medium-bodied, lively, racy, exotic style on the palate. As I wrote during En Primeur, this is a masterclass in world class Sauvignon Blanc that readers shouldn’t miss.

Salty green apples, lemon rind, and tangerines, with honeysuckle, create the perfume. A little bit creamy, with vibrancy that's the perfect background for all of the vivid, sweet, ripe fruit on the palate. The wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. 14% ABV. Drink from 2025-2037.

This is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. After some coaxing, fragrant notes of fresh pears, yellow apples, and honeysuckle emerge from the glass, followed by hints of sea spray and struck flint. The medium-bodied palate has great tension with a silky texture and vivacious orchard and citrus fruit layers, finishing long and mineral-laced.

A 100% Sauvignon Blanc picked on August 24th, the 2022 Blanc from Les Champs Libres wafts from the glass with a delicate, fresh bouquet of menthol, white fruits, lemon and jasmine. Medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, it's precise and pure with a concentrated core of fruit and a long, penetrating and perfumed finish. - Yohan Castaing

Rich, ample and creamy, the 2022 Les Champs Libres is a total stunner. Lemon confit, white flowers, jasmine, mint and tangerine peel soar out of the glass. The richness of the year is evident, and yet there is no heaviness or excess at all. -- Antonio Galloni

This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc in this vintage, fully barrel-fermented and barrel-aged, using 75% new oak in this case, more than double that used for Grand Village. This echoes the saline, mineral white citrus fruits seen in Grand Village, with a bitter and pithy energy. The palate is fresh, polished, with bitter layers of toasted citrus fruits, with a pithy grip and fresh acid backbone intertwined with the silky, polished citrus fruit core. This is obviously very primary and spiced, with a long and warming finish, peppery and bright. There is a style here that reminds me more of a wine from Dagueneau than from anywhere else in Bordeaux;it is tense, linear, biting in its structure, with an incredibly long, tingling finish. A baby which desires some cellar time, at least five years although the potential is undoubtedly greater than that comment suggests. The alcohol is 14% on the label.
