LBL 2022
Sauvignon Blanc from two small parcels of old vines averaging out at around 65 years in age from the old Les Bois Lucas domaine that in a former life Noëlla used to manage for its previous owner, Junko Ara. As you'd expect from vines of this age the fruit has exceptional complexity and concentration resulting in a wine of impressive texture and multi-layered depth.
Reflecting the warm vintage, the 2022 has more power and attack than those that preceded it. The wine is a pale gold in the glass with all manner of rich aromas to take in. Brioche and frangipane alongside white flowers, candied lime peel - this is a wine that certainly does not scream 'Sauvignon Blanc'. The wine sees two full years' ageing in old oak barrels, imparting a gorgeous supple elegance, with passion fruit, salt crystals and white grapefruit hanging together in harmonious balance. So much purity, so much detail - Noëlla's exceptional top white never fails to bowl us over and is truly one-of-a-kind.
