"New 100% Sauvignon blanc!
"Complex and subtle, the bouquet of Pierre Blanche announces an authentic wine with finesse as its focus. In addition to fine floral nuances, the bouquet reveals notes of lemongrass and fresh bread. Slightly saline on the attack, the wine is perfectly supported by its structure, while fine bitters underpin the lingering finish. A sapid, convincing wine" (Yves Beck 2023)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
For the past half-decade, this Entre-Deux-Mers cru has been seducing visitors with its generous wines, expressive fruitiness and toasty woodiness.
Concours Vins de Bordeaux
Wine rated (guide 2024) Silver Medal (Concours Vins de Bordeaux)
About the wine:
On the nose, delicate aromas of lime, grapefruit and peach blend harmoniously, while the subtle hint of oak adds extra depth and elegance. Food pairing: shellfish, seafood platter, fish, aperitif, poultry.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
From his family's right-bank vineyard in Vérac, near Fronsac, Hervé Lhuillier has created a true brand of Bordeaux Supérieur, whose fundamentals are depth, authenticity and careful oakiness. New vines of Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, planted on outcropping limestone (the quarries are open to visitors), will soon go into production. While the densimetric sorting machine has brought greater precision to 2018, we're still thirsty about the somewhat cartoonish extractions and ageing. Let's give the wines time to settle before considering removing the star.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 03/09/2024
Here's a pretty white Bordeaux that's not lacking in assets, both olfactory and gustatory. The palate is at once dapper, slender and incredibly fresh, with a full texture and enough fat to provide a pleasant silky envelope to a very expressive aroma of citrus fruit and white flowers, set off by a vibrant mineral framework. Salivating length with saline and finely bitter accents. A harmonious, well-structured wine at a very attractive price. In short, everything you need to enjoy this wine with local produce from Noirmoutier: bouquets of pink shrimp with salted butter, followed by sole meunière. Score = 4.
