The 2017 Ferran Blanc is well defined on the nose with crisp green apples, apricot blossom and very light dewy meadow aromas. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, very taut and crisp with a palpable sense of energy and tension on the again saline finish. What a superb white Pessac-Léognan. This comes recommended.

The Ferran 2017 Blanc comes roaring out of the glass with bold notions of ripe Bosc pears, lemonade, fresh ginger and lime leaves plus wafts of wet pebbles and white pepper. Medium-bodied, clean and refreshing, the palate is bursting with loads of citrus layers, finishing on a lingering spicy note.
