Tasting Notes
This is the first vintage of Tronquoy’s white wine to be released en primeur. It’s pithy, green and waxy on the nose, with bright pear, white florals and honey. It’s elegant with a mineral stony undertone, yet a real richness to the fruit on the mid-palate that follows through to the long, refreshing finish. Blend: 51% Semillon, 49% Sauvignon Gris

The Tronquoy 2023 Blanc, a blend of 51% Sémillon and 49% Sauvignon Gris, exhales aromas of pear, white flowers and white fruits. Round, supple and medium-bodied, it’s charming and enveloping with a delicate, juicy core of fruit that concludes into a fresh, long and mineral finish.
The 2023 Tronquoy-Lalande Blanc has a pretty, floral bouquet, though it needs just a little more delineation, the Sauvignon Gris (yes, Gris) perhaps denuding it a little complexity. The palate is well balanced with a fine texture, revealing notes of lime and orange zest and touches of mango and passion fruit. It's quite poised toward the finish. Delightful.
The 2023 Blanc is quite rich and textured in this vintage. The blend is 51% Sémillon and 49% Sauvignon Gris, with the Sémillon very much driving the wine's textural feel. Lemon confit, marzipan, mint, dried flowers, spice and white pepper all build.
