  As with so many wines from Blaye, this is dominated by Merlot. That gives a ripe full wine that is spicy and full of black-plum fruits. Firm tannins still show through the fruits that are balanced by acidity. The wine still needs to age, so drink from 2018.

  Despite the label indication that this wine is Sauvignon Blanc, it does in fact have 20% Sémillon. That addition fills out the wine while retaining the natural herbaceous character with its grassy texture and strongly citrus flavors. Drink now.

  This wine is concentrated, with fruit that seems too ripe. Jammy berry flavors are mixed in with dry tannins and a firm backdrop. It's solid, although not quite balanced. The estate was founded in 1967 by Philippe Raguenot; daughters Emmanuelle and Marie-Pierre took over in 1997.

  Get beyond the yeasty aromas to reveal a fruity, creamy textured wine. It has ripe yellow fruits, an herbaceous element and a smooth, full mouthfeel.

  Ripe tropical fruits dominate this warm, soft Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has a herbaceous element reinforced with acidity and a peach flavor. Ready to drink, but it could age for another year.
