Decanter Magazine: 93 Points
This is delicious, a serious step up from the Reynon within the same stable, and speaks to the influence that terroir has on a wine - this is slate and crushed granite showing grip through the palate, and the citrus has plenty of zest to give it focus and lift. Juicy finish also, excellent wine from Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu. 25% new oak.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
The late founder Denis Dubourdieu was the master of white wine in Bordeaux. So it is pleasing that this wine should be so fine. Subtly rich, with generous white fruits, ripeness and concentration, the wine is developing well.
Vinous: 90-92 Points
The 2019 Clos Floridène Blanc is a gorgeous, distinctive white. Bright acids bring freshness to the ripe orchard and tropical fruit flavors. Pear, white peach, passionfruit and jasmine give the Blanc an intensely aromatic profile that is beguiling. Creamy and open-knit, the Blanc will be immensely enjoyable upon release.
