    Château des Bormettes Instinct Parcellaire (White) 2023 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Pale lemon gold. Ripe exotic white fruit and saline notes on the nose, with a hint of struck match, beautiful garrigue, wild fennel, straw, and very soft, elegant beeswax. On the palate, salted creamy peach and intense ripe fruit with a hint of dark cassis richness. Concentrated with fine mineral elegance, where maritime schist gives structure and restrains the rich ripeness. Beautifully rich but saline, mineral, and crisp. Powerful and very refined. Precisely the kind of crisp precision with ripe solar fruit and schistous minerality that La Londe does best. Stellar wine.
