From Pessac-Léognan, where some of the best dry whites in Bordeaux are made, this is a lovely example from a very good vintage. Lafont Menaut Blanc 2023 is fresh, characterful and well-balanced, with enough depth to enjoy now but also the structure to age for up to 10 years.
“A great value estate that I recommend to friends if they want to capture what makes Pessac whites stand out from, for example, Graves or Entre deux Mers. Has grip and charm, a little dip in the mid palate perhaps, but comes back strongly with white pear, spiced citrus and the gentle gunsmoke of the appellation.
