L'ECOLE NO. 41

Sémillon 2014

- 90 points -

“(bottled in early June; a blend from multiple sites; 100% barrel fermented, with a touch of new oak): Pale, bright yellow. Pretty, vaguely floral aromas of stone fruits, mint and honey. Intensely flavored and brisk but with a touch of creaminess from the 60% barrel aging. Finishes with excellent saline length and firmness. "Semillon is a hard grape to sell," said Clubb. "It gets weightier and nuttier with seven or eight years of aging, but to make a really long-lived Semillon you'd need to pick earlier and greener”."– Stephen Tanzer
