2016 Château Brown Blanc Château Brown

Neal Martin (Parker) 86-88/100 // > The 2016 Brown Blanc has an uncomplicated bouquet with lime, green apple and light beeswax aromas, although like many dry white Bordeaux this year, it calls out for more freshness and precision. The palate is actually better than the aromatics with bitter lemon, touches of guava and pineapple. This is richer than the 2015, but the lower acidity means that it will be best consumed in the first four or five years.// James Molesworth (WineSpectator) 90-93/100 > Lemon peel and salted butter notes give this some zip, while the core of yellow apple, fennel and melon rind flavors has good weight. Well done.
