Product Description
RP99 "Composed of mostly Semillon, along with 31% Sauvignon Blanc and a small but fragrant addition of 1% Muscadelle, the 2021 La Proportion Doree comes from 30-year-old, dry-farmed vines and was barrel fermented. It pours a bright yellow color and takes on another gear in the glass, cascading open with generous aromas of fresh currants, candle wax, jasmine, and a lift of white pepper spice. Medium to full-bodied, its structure offers fantastic definition, and it has a concentrated, rich texture, an even spine of acidity, and exceptional length. This is a stunning textural blend to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years. 850 cases were produced."
LP98 "The 2021 Proportion Doree is a blend of 68% Semillon, 31% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. A little shy to begin, it needs a lot of swirling to bring out notes of grapefruit oil, yellow apples, and honeycomb leading to hints of lime blossom and paraffin wax with a touch of sea spray. The medium to full-bodied palate has a compelling touch of oiliness to the texture with tightly knit citrus and savory layers, finishing long with a steeliness complementing the zestiness."
