Decanter "A fragrant and zesty nose of peach blossom and lemon zest. Clean and crisp on the palate with crunchy and lively citrus fruits at the core. Acidity is high here, immediately mouthwatering, then settles with creamy aspects coming in on the finish"

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "A simple, floral wine this has perfumed fruit that balances with the crisp texture. Tangy green plum flavors shoot through the wine ending with a citrus aftertaste."

Le Guide Hachette des Vins "...this cuvée delivers notes of pear and white flowers on the nose. The wine introduces an ample, round and fruity palate (peach), balanced by a fine acidity until the finish. This white wine lacks nothing."

Decanter "A delicate nose followed by marked acidity on the palate. Lemon and lime juice give way to crunchy grapefruit pith around the edges giving weight." (2019 vintage)

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "Ripe Sémillon stands out in the blend of this wine. Acidity and freshness combine with hints of yellow fruits and crisp acidity to give an attractive wine that is ready to drink." (2019 vintage)

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "A crisp, lemon-flavored wine, this is light and lively. Its freshness is reinforced by ripe grapefruit and acidity that creates a bright aftertaste." (2018 vintage)

60% Sémillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc

Château Grand Jean Bordeaux Supérieur Red epitomizes the region’s classic balance of fruit flavors and soft tannins—but with a smoother, more modern feel and spice notes from the wine’s oak aging.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation.

The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great classified 1855 châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.
