    Château Carpe Diem Artus (White) 2024 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    A slightly unusual blend of equal parts Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Rolle. Very pale lemon yellow. Restrained on the nose with a hint of wild meadow flowers and slightly herbal, perfumed garrigue. Crisp, linear, elegant and very refreshing on the palate. Juicy white grapefruit and pretty acidity perfectly complement the floral charm. Ends on a hint of creamy lees that balances the freshness. Elegant and approachable now, but it benefits from decanting to let the linear elegance soften; in a couple of years, this will likely open up beautifully and command a considerably higher score.
