The 2023 Les leçons des maîtres is, quite simply, divine. Comprising mostly fruit from 50-year-old vines in Ritchie, the 2023 was fermented in barrel and aged in 100% new French oak for ten months. This is so deeply minerally intense and rich. The density and weight conferred by the old vines is unmistakable, as is the phenolic power of Sémillon. Green apple, lemon confit, sweet mint and chalk build through the broad, focused finish. The 2023 is one of the best domestic Sauvignon Blanc-based wines out there, hands down.
