(90-92) Points – Vinous“The 2020 Les Charmes Godard Blanc is beautifully understated in this vintage, but there is plenty of the texture and creaminess that makes Charmes Godard one of the most compelling dry whites in Bordeaux. Hints of apricot, chamomile, mint, tangerine and white flowers all grace this racy, open-knit white from Nicolas Thienpont.” -AG, May/2021
90+ Points – Wine Advocate“Exhibiting aromas of crisp pear, waxy lemon rind and struck match, the 2020 Les Charmes-Godard Blanc is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a textural attack, tangy acids and a fleshy but tightly wound core. This Sémillon-based blend is still a little shy after its recent bottling, but its vinous, structured profile promises compelling things with a bit of age.” -WK, 4/7/22
89 Points – Wine Spectator“Bracing, with a mix of white peach, sel gris and oyster shell notes backed by a zip of lemon zest on the finish. Tasty. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Drink now through 2023. 1,600 cases made.” -JM, 2022
