Château Lagrange, Bordeaux Blanc (France) “Les Arums de Lagrange” 2014

($35): The 2014 vintage was the first that came entirely from Lagrange’s new plantings.  Compared to the 2013, the 2014 is slightly more intense without losing any elegance or precision.  It conveys a marvelous combination of floral notes, grapefruit rind-like punch and even a hint of white pepper.  There’s less varietal Sauvignon Blanc character and more minerality speaking.  It dances on the palate, combing richness and freshness.  It sings!
