Reviews for this vintage

JEB DUNNUCK

91-93
The 2022 Intuition De Fleur Cardinale Blanc, which is scheduled to be bottled in June, is based on 65% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Gris, and the rest Sémillon. This medium-bodied, incredibly pure, vibrant, mineral-laced white has lots of orange blossom and stone fruit nuances, remarkable purity, and a clean, dry, classy finish. An impeccably made white, it’s going to shine on the dinner table.
