DAMASCENE Chenin Blanc Swartland 2023
This is a gorgeous wine, luminous and proud. The Damascene 2023 Swartland Chenin Blanc (with 2,970 bottles created) opens to a linear presentation based on sweet citrus, bergamot and honeydew melon. The focus of the wine is intense, and it remains elegant throughout with a medium build and salty or mineral nuances to close. At the end of a day of wine tasting in my office, I choose my favorite bottle to bring back home for dinner. This was that bottle. Fruit comes from granite soil vineyards planted in 1979 and 1983. Whole-cluster fruit is delicately pressed. It ages in Austrian oval oak for 11 months.
LE PETIT SMITH HAUT LAFITTE Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2021
This is very aromatic, with blossom honey, sliced lemons and ripe green apples. Medium-bodied, it starts off slowly before building on the palate with a creamy texture and a fresh and driven finish. So much energy at the end. Impressive for the second wine. 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. From organically grown grapes.
