This little star of a wine continues to punch way above its lowly price point. The 2017 opens with notes of green papaya, kiwi and white pepper, the palate is richly textured, with the backing of creamy oak, but overlaid with tropical fruit and then a mouth-watering juicy lime cordial tang. Drinking range: 2018 - 2023 L&S (Aug 2018)

Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon all done up in a three-piece suit – or in this case, smart oak barrels. Smoky nose and lots of pungency and character. No hurry to drink this. Way underpriced. 14%Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2018)

Château Beaumont Les Pierrières

In 2006 M. Filliatreau, the owner of Château Beaumont Les Pierrières was desperate to get a slightly better price for this wine from the old vine Semillon-Sauvignon produced from a 2 ha plot attached to a property that mainly makes red. He hit on the idea of barrel-fermenting it in the new barrels destined for the red wine. Since it is picked early (in August) it completed its fermentation in wood and was back in tank by the time of the 'décuvage' of the red. Because the barrels were needed for the red, their cost has not been factored in to the price of this fantastic bright and surprisingly complex white, which is amazing value for a barrel-fermented wine.
