92-93 JS / 91-93 WA / 89-91 VM

A tight and focused white with sliced and crushed apple. Pie tart. Lime. Mineral and aniseed. Complex. Medium body. Nicely done. - James Suckling

A blend of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Sémillon, the 2022 La Garde Blanc offers up aromas of lemon, lemon oil, verbena, lime tree and menthol. Chiseled and tense, lively and energetic, it has a vibrant spine of acidity and a saline finish. This estate is experiencing a resurgence of interest from its owners, and Pessac-Léognan enthusiasts should observe its evolution in the coming years. - Yohan Castaing. Wine Advocate

The 2022 La Garde Blanc, mostly Sauvignon Blanc, is quite effusive in this vintage. Citrus peel, mint, lime, white flowers and tangerine peel all race out of the glass. There is an exotic feel to the 2022 that is hugely appealing, and also a bit more mid-palate depth than this wine has shown in the past. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
