2023 Chateau Closiot Bordeaux Blanc tasting 2/26 This isn’t your typical CaliforniaThe eight hectare estate has parcels of century old vines on the enviable Clos Bonneau, where the soils are red clay with classic left bank pebbles atop. Planted mostly to Semillon, there is also Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Counting Climens, Doisy Vdrines and Coutet among its neighbors, this is a Chateau to watch, with Guffens' association not the least important reason. Perfect with grilled halibut or sushi!
