Purchased in 1982 by Denis and his wife, Florence (hence the name!), the white wine sector of the estate now accounts for 14.7 hectares. With the bulk of the vineyard situated on the calcareous plateau of Pujols sur Ciron, in the Graves, it is ideal for Sauvignon and Semillon. This is the white Graves that many Bordeaux 'insiders' drink and we have followed it for over 15 years. Unlike some of the 2012 dry white Graves, which tend to lack freshness and balance, the Clos Floridene has great depth, poise and minerality with exciting white flower aromas and a piercingly refreshing fruit.

Purchased in 1982 by Denis and his wife, Florence (hence the name!), the white wine sector of the estate now accounts for 14.7 hectares. With the bulk of the vineyard situated on the calcareous plateau of Pujols sur Ciron, in the Graves, it is ideal for Sauvignon and Semillon. This is the white Graves that many Bordeaux 'insiders' drink and we have followed it for over 15 years. Unlike some of the 2012 dry white Graves, which tend to lack freshness and balance, the Clos Floridene has great depth, poise and minerality with exciting white flower aromas and a piercingly refreshing fruit.

It is also classic in its fresh fruit driven style and the method of production, maceration peliculiere, where the grapes are held for a short time on their skins before crushing.

Semillon 90%, Sauvignon Blanc 10%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find this relatively newly-created property in the southern part of the Graves region, just to the north-west of Sauternes. It was the brain-child of two friends, Michel Bonnot and Louis-Michel Muyst, both having read oeneology together at the University of Bordeaux and, who on leaving, managed to persuade a number of growers in the commune of Landiras, who were near retirement, to sell them some prime parcels of old vineyards whose average age is now 30 years old. The first vintage released was in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_drink_fbb5b570-decc-4e04-802d-57d23e1aa7cf.jpg?113\" alt=\"Drink\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Drink now\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_food.gif?113\" alt=\"Foods\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Aperitif\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_dryness.gif?113\" alt=\"Dryness\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Dry\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_body.gif?113\" alt=\"Body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Light Bodied\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_colour.gif?113\" alt=\"Colour\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Light Yellow\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_grapes.gif?113\" alt=\"Grapes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Semillon, Sauvignon\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_region.gif?113\" alt=\"Region\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Graves, France\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_producer.gif?113\" alt=\"Producer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Chateau Carbon d'Artigues\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_vintage.gif?113\" alt=\"Vintage\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 2016\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/sulphites_0ab734f9-50cc-46cc-a01a-27564467f9c2.jpg?113\" alt=\"Sulphites\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
