The star of Graves blancs, offering each vintage a very pure and straightforward wine, discreetly woody. It is not surprising to see this regularity in performance, as it is the own property of Florence & Denis Dubourdieu, hence the name of the wine.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 92/100 "The 2023 Clos Floridène Blanc is quite pretty and delicate. Gentle hints of lemon oil, chalk, chamomile, slate, dried herbs and white flowers grace this understated, classy dry white. Floral and mineral notes lift the crystalline finish.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 92/100 “The 2023 Clos Floridene Blanc over-performs, yet again, with a lovely nose with bright, crisp Golden Delicious and Conference pear scents, an underlying mineralité that lends complexity. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that counterbalances the concentration locked into this white from the Dubourdieu family. Great length and given the price... a steal.”
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2025): 92/100 "Immediately apparent from its colour, the 2023 white develops a generous, pure aromatic expression, far from standardisation, suggesting yellow peach and warm biscuit. But above all, it is a wine of substance, whose beautiful maturity is perfectly supported by the freshness of the limestone base."
J-M Quarin (March 2026): 91/100 “Pale color. Intense, fruity, and subtle nose. Delicate on the attack, smooth on the mid-palate, with flavor, the wine stretches out on the finish, fragrant, long, and difficult to spit out.” Outsider

Vinous (Neal Martin - November 2023): 90/100 “The 2021 Clos floridene Blanc has a commendable bouquet of white-flower-tinged citrus fruit, gaining vigor ine the glass with each swirl. The palate is well-balanced with a tangy entry-mango and persimmon, becoming peachier toward the well-defined finish. This is a delicisous white Pessac that will be difficult to resist in its youth."

Stéphane Dief, owner of Clos Manou, had long dreamed of producing a great dry white wine on his terroir at the northern tip of the Médoc, a region particularly suited to the slow maturation of white grapes thanks to its eminently temperate climate (bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east by the Gironde estuary). This dream became a reality in 2020 with the creation of Clos Albus in Valeyrac, a 1.85-hectare plot planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. 2023 is its first vintage, with floral aromas (acacia and broom) and a hint of vanilla.
The 2023 vintage is its first, composed of 54% Sauvignon Blanc, 39% Sémillon, and 7% Muscadelle, a magnificent white wine of crystalline purity, sleek and precise, blending floral aromas (acacia and broom) with light vanilla notes (from fermentation and aging on lees in French oak barrels).

Known for its red wine, Château Rollan de By also owns 2 ha of alluvial sands on the Gironde estuary, which were planted with Sauvignon Blanc some 30 years ago with the intention of producing a great Medoc white wine.
The owner, Mr. Guyon, decided to apply to the letter the traditional practices for the elaboration of a neat white wine, in the vineyard (high density of 6500 vines per hectare, 100% grassing, manual harvest in crates...) as well as in the cellar (no fining, no filtration, the wine is only clarified by successive rackings, maturing in French oak barrels...).
But he has also integrated the qualitative precepts of today's oenology: short pre-fermentation maceration, low temperature vinification, stirring of the lees, minimal sulfiting...
In a way, the best of both worlds (ancient and modern) are combined to best express the temperate oceanic climate of the northern tip of the Médoc, ideal for white wines: optimal sunshine, mild temperatures without excess, regular rainfall.Its 2019 vintage is exciting, with a combination of minty freshness and saline minerality, on a full, creamy and deep palate. The richness that envelops the texture of this wine is reminiscent of Meursault, perhaps that's why it's bottled in a Burgundy bottle?

In a rather lively and tense style, Couhins is today by its price the best deal among the white classified growths of Pessac-Léognan.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 91+/100 “The 2023 Couhins Blanc is a potent dry white. It offers plenty of textural depth but is also a bit reduced. I find the aromatics a touch muddled, the wine's considerable power notwithstanding."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a lovely resinous texture, plenty of extract here that is commendable for a second wine. Doubtless great value given the quality."

Known for producing a full-bodied, expressive, even exuberant white wine, Larrivet Haut-Brion has gained freshness and tension in recent vintages, thanks to its new vat room incorporating smaller containers (including 20% concrete eggs). Its young director, Charlotte Mignon, has also undertaken a major agroforestry project in the vineyard to promote biodiversity and protect the vines from global warming.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 95/100 “The 2023 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is one of the most refined dry whites of the year. Soft, silky and nuanced, the Blanc has so much to offer. There's a touch of reduction, but it works well here. Passion fruit, apricot, tangerine oil and a kiss of French oak lend an exotic flair. This is so distinctive.”
J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Pale colour. Intense and subtle nose. Ripe fruit. Delicate on the attack, with a slightly smoky and very fruity aroma, the wine melts on the palate, pleasant and long. Dynamic overall with well-integrated oak. It's very good."
La Revue du Vin de France (2026 Guide): 90/100 "The great wine of 2023 seems less brilliant than when first released; a little stuck in reduction, it nevertheless offers beautiful density and a definite presence that encourages us to wait for a more expressive phase."

Based on Sauvignon (with a hint of Semillon), Caillou Blanc has been presented for 50 years as the archetype of Médoc dry white wine: pale colour, between delicate freshness and aromatic distinction (lemon, bitter orange, honeysuckle), never too full or demonstrative. A model of elegance, never too lavish or ostentatious, and always reasonably priced.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - April 2024): 88/100 "The 2023 Caillou Blanc Talbot was picked from August 30 to September 7 and matured in 40% new oak, with more bâtonnage than usual. It has a oretty bouquet with orchard fruit, touches of orange blossom and grapefruit thanks to the 71% Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is fresh on the entry: green apple mixed with pear and a dab of lemongrass, with decent length. This is very Graves-like this year. Drink it over the next four to five years."

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 90/100 “The 2023 Latour-Martillac Blanc is a tasty, straightforward offering. It possesses good energy and drive yet remains a bit angular in its contours. This needs a bit more presence in the mid-palate.”
J-M Quarin (March 2026): 88/100 "Pale colour. Discreet nose, developing aniseed aromas when swirled in the glass. Delicate and fragrant on the palate, with medium body."

The palate is fresh and vibrant. Ample weight with a dash of pepper, not persistent and yet it should still drink well for several years."

Distinguished, with no vinification or ageing signature, it unfurls a very fine shape on the palate, with acidity that is never sharp, enveloped by the elegant flesh of the estate's Semillon grapes (43% of the blend). The restrained elegance of the finish is to be commended. It will age very well.”.
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 91/100 “Latour-Martillac Blanc 2021 offers an intriguing blend of Sauvignon Blanc-driven liveliness and Semillon-influenced mid-palate creaminess.

A harmoniously balanced wine, mature and suitable for ageing, in which the texture and richness of the Sémillon perfectly complement the fruitiness of the Sauvignon, which does not impose a garish varietal character here."

Alongside its famous Sauternes, Suduiraut has been producing a dry white wine for fine dining for 20 years, made from half Sémillon and half Sauvignon (average age of vines 45 years for both grape varieties), aged for 9 months in barrels (12% new).

The palate is well-balanced with an oily texture, lightly spiced and a little Roussanne-like toward the very textural finish, with a touch of lanolin on the aftertaste."
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2026): 95/100 "The 2023 Grand Vin Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes is bright, tense and wonderfully focused. Citrus peel, chalk, mint, white pepper, and chamomile bristle with tension. All the elements are so well balanced. There's a feeling of transparency in the 2023 that I find incredibly alluring."
