Château La Nerthe Blanc Clos de Beauvenir 2012

Honeyed pear and white flowers lift from the glass with subtle limestone undertones. The Clos de Beauvenir vineyard delivers exceptional concentration here. Tangerine oil and jasmine weave through the palate with impressive depth. Eight months in barrique adds texture without masking the mineral backbone. Vibrant acidity drives the persistent finish.
