Château Rahoul Graves Blanc 2019

Decanter : 91 Points

(1/4/2022) Excellent expression on the intensely aromatic nose - a tiny touch of honeyed lemon, some white peach and bitter orange peel. Piercing acidity, cuts through the fruit which has a density that is so appealing. It's bright but with nuances of nut and honey. Structured and round, great fruitiness. Long length. From deep gravel soils, 15% new oak, winemaking and all ageing in barrel. Bottled and released eight months after harvest. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2035.

James Suckling : 92 Points

(11/8/2021) Lots of peaches and pears in the nose with a full body and layers of fruit. Rather soft and creamy with stoney undertones. Fruity and velvety for a white wine. 15% new wood. 61% semillon and 39% sauvignon blanc. Drink now.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 90 Points

(1/2022) The 2019 Rahoul Blanc is a deep, savory white. Dried herbs, chamomile, pear and almond notes lend a very distinctive flavor profile that nicely matches the wine's phenolic intensity and overall feel. The Blanc is very much a white for the dinner table, as it has quite a bit of substance. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2027.
