Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The Clos Floridene 2018 Blanc gives tropical scents of green guava, mango and pineapple with touches of honeysuckle and fresh ginger. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers fantastic freshness and mineral-tinged citrus layers, finishing long and clean.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (23/04/2019)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2018 - 89-91 PARKER

Much richer and more concentrated than the Ch Reynon Blanc 2018. Really nicely balanced and appetising and juicy for current drinking. I wouldn't bet on it for very long-term ageing. That lanolin note of oaked Bordeaux Sémillon with a serious finish. Not a blockbuster but with juicy green-fruit notes and a luxurious overlay of light oaking. Satin texture. VGV - Very good value.

— Jancis Robinson (11/01/2021)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2018 - 16.5 JANCIS ROBINSON

Aromas of lime zest, green papaya, chalk and some cardamom. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fresh, citrusy finish. Drink now.
