Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Fragrant Solicantus Blanc is made from a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle in an unoaked style that preserves the freshness and vibrancy of its floral and fruit notes. On the nose, you can immediately notice floral, citrus and orchard fruits. The palate is true to its name, with a symphony of flavours: peaches, apricots, pears, orange blossoms, green apples and citrus, with crisp acidity and minerality. The lingering finish gives hints of lychee and pineapple. It is light, but at the same time gives an impression of richness. You can cellar this wine for more than five years. An unforgettably beautiful wine that I highly recommend. Solicantus Blanc pairs well with many foods, such as Thai mango salad, yellow coconut curry, vegetable satay, butternut squash and porcini mushroom risotto or vegetarian pho.
Tasted with the winemaker at Flavours of Bharat Culinary Festival, May 2024
From Entre Deux Mers, Solicantus Melodie Du Sol 2023 is a dry, medium-bodied 60% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Gris with the balance in Muscadelle grapes. Bright and fragrant with white florals, fresh-cut grass, grapefruit zest, lime leaf, sagey and mineral notes silky and fresh on the palate, this Bordeaux white will do well chilled up and poured with scallops sauteed in lemon butter. - Community Wine Reviews
