Clos Floridene Blanc 2020 is a white wine from the Graves appellation in Bordeaux, produced by Denis Dubourdieu’s family estate. The blend combines Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon, fermented and aged partly in oak to build texture while retaining freshness. Aromas of grapefruit, white peach and lime zest are joined by subtle notes of smoke and flint from the gravelly soils. The palate is crisp and finely weighted, its acidity cutting through the gentle roundness of lees ageing. The finish is clean and persistent, marked by citrus length and mineral precision.
