2018 Vintage: One Star (denotes a great wine) – Guide Hachette des Vins 2020 “This pure Sauvignon opens with scents of white flowers, resin and a pleasant hint of muscat. On the palate, our jury was impressed with its harmony, silkiness and the beautiful long finish with just the right amount of acidity. A subtle wine.”

2013 Sélection White Bordeaux – Gault & Millau July/ August 2014 “Such an appealing, springtime, elegant bouquet, revealing pronounced varietal character, but not overly so. Wonderful aromas of fragrant orchards, aniseed and also limeblossom. Simply divine on the palate, showing extremely rare balance.”
2012 Vintage: Bronze Medal – Challenge International du Vin – France 2013
Delor Réserve Blanc is irresistible with its pale yellow, green-tinged appearance and bouquet exuding aromas of tropical fruits and lemon. On the palate, verve and elegance combine to make this a well-structured wine with a fresh and flavoursome finish.
