Subject to change of vintage!

The Clos Floridène vineyard in Pujols-sur-Cirón in the Graves region was acquired by Denis and Florence Dubourdieu in 1982. Through successive purchases of vineyards in the best locations, a high standard of quality was established. The name of the estate is derived from the first names of the two founders.
Green-gold color, intense aroma with fruity notes of white peach, lemon, grapefruit, and roasted and grilled nuances. Powerful and fresh aromas of juicy fruit, with the density and structure of a great white wine.
