Château Lagrange, Bordeaux Blanc (France) “Les Arums de Lagrange” 2013

($34): There’s magic in this wine.  Fresh and precise, it conveys citrus notes and engaging bit of spice.  It maintains plenty of richness, which is buttressed by freshness and vivacity.  The pungency of Sauvignon Blanc is more apparent here since the proportion of that variety has been increased at the expense of Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris.  Since only 240 bottles came to the US market, it will be hard to find, but worth the effort.
