Other Reviews....
The 2016 Puygueraud Blanc is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris. It offers simple pear and peach skin aromas on the nose, not intense, clean if not complex. The palate is sharp on the entry with a twist of sour lemon. There is moderate depth with a little waxiness towards the finish, although I found myself wanting more Sauvignon Gris à la 2015. Drink over the next three or four years.

A rich and juicy white with sliced-mango and cooked-apple character. Medium to full body and a delicious finish.

The 2016 Puygueraud Blanc is gorgeous. In a vintage in which so many whites veer toward the richer side, it has maintained gorgeous freshness and vivacity. Lemon peel, white flowers, sage, stone fruit, pear and a host of Sauvignon Blanc-driven varietal notes run though this deeply expressive, chiseled white. I tasted the 2016 from tank just prior to bottling. In 2016, the winemaking team bumped up the Sauvignon Blanc and decreased the Sauvignon Gris to keep as much freshness as possible.
