"A blend of 91% Sauvignon Blanc and 9% Sémillon, the 2023 La Garde Blanc offers up a lively, fresh bouquet of pear, white peach, spring flowers and lemongrass. Medium-bodied, round and incisive with an enveloping core of fruit, it's fresh and balanced, concluding with a mouthwatering, long finish."

"The 2023 La Garde Blanc has a very pretty and generous bouquet with apple blossom, freshly sliced pear and subtle tropical notes that remain in the background, all nicely delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine concentration, well-integrated oak and hints of white peach and kaki fruit on the finish. Delicious!"

"The 2023 La Garde Blanc is gorgeous. Sauvignon Blanc on limestone drives this sculpted dry white. Lemon confit, white pepper, apricot and tangerine peel build in the glass. Lees-stirring helps build texture to play off the wine's salivating acid profile."
Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Vinous.com
"I like the layered texture to this, with fruit and light phenolics, as well as bright acidity. Medium body. Lemon-rind and fresh-apple character at the end. Excellent finish."
