Located on a ridge of limestone and gravel in the southern Graves, it’s one of the rare Bordeaux whites that consistently over-delivers for the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 is a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, fermented and aged partially in oak, with regular lees stirring. The result is beautifully textured and layered: lemon curd, white peach, and green herbs wrapped in a creamy mid-palate, lifted by Graves’ signature stony tension. The Sémillon adds quiet depth and aging potential, while the Sauvignon keeps things vivid and bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is white Bordeaux with Chablis-like backbone and a little white Burgundy polish—perfect for seafood, richer poultry, or aging a few years to watch it evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair with: crab cakes, roast chicken with tarragon, or a cheese board with soft-ripened goat cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TWINS Bordeaux, America [FOV] [TBA]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44416081788985,"sku":"NYC-TBA-`LY12-0414-22`-041125-2","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Clos-Floridene-Graves-Blanc-2022-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_171ad707.jpg?v=1768504249"},{"product_id":"clos-floridene-graves-rouge-2019-750ml","title":"Clos Floridene, Graves Rouge, 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenis Dubourdieu, the legendary University of Bordeaux professor who revolutionized dry white winemaking, founded Clos Floridène in 1982 with his wife Florence—their combined names becoming the estate's identity. The property sits on the limestone plateau of Pujols sur Ciron near Barsac, an unusual terroir for Graves where most soils are gravelly. This limestone foundation creates distinctively mineral-driven, floral wines. The red is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (unusual for the region until 2001), fermented with gentle pigeage in stainless steel and aged 12 months in barrel. Denis believed in forcing vine roots deep into limestone bedrock for true terroir expression. The 2019 vintage was hot but the Graves appellation, with its cooler microclimates, handled it gracefully. This wine offers an alternative Bordeaux experience—limestone elegance rather than gravel power—from one of the region's most influential winemaking families.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duclot Export [DUX]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45178749747257,"sku":"NYC-DUX-`1132438`-111725-11","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Clos-Floridene-Graves-Rouge-2019-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_398d1969.jpg?v=1768524003"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/clos-floridene.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
