‘La Proportion Dorée’
Sonoma County Sémillon – Sauvignon Blanc
“A perfect wine, absolutely out of this world; it seems to come across like a Sonoma County version of a dryHaut-Brion Blanc. This is singular wine – profound, compelling, whatever!”
Robert M. Parker, Jr., Dec. 2015
“Tastes like a top vintage of La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc on steroids.”
“I’m not sure there’s anyone else in the world doing Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc better!”
Jeb Dunnuck Aug, 2020 & Sep. 2021
A harmonious blend of the three classic white Bordeaux varietals, this unique cuvée was inspired from the finest producers of Pessac-Léognan. The Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle come from dry-farmed vineyards in the Golden State’s Sonoma County. Classical winemaking techniques such as élevage sur lies (aging on the lees) and bâtonnage (stirring) contribute to this true vin de garde. As in architectural arts, it is ‘The Golden Ratio’ or ‘La Proportion Dorée.’
Winemaker notes:
Bright yellow, with an intense bouquet of candied lemon, stone fruits and honeysuckle intermixed with notes of ripened apricot, juniper berry, fresh quince, beeswax and liquid minerals. Full-bodied, boasting a seamless texture, refined and complex, the ‘La Proportion Dorée’ will age gracefully for 20 years.
