2024 Château Les Charmes Godard Blanc

The 2024 Les Charmes-Godard Blanc is another superb wine from Nicolas Thienpont in a vintage where all the wines are brilliant. A wine of richness and substance, the 2024 very much reflects the record-high level of Sémillon in the blend. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, chalk and a kiss of French oak meld together as the 2024 shows off its inimitable pedigree. Bracing saline notes linger on the impossibly long finish. The 2024 was aged in 500-liter barrels, about 10% new. I can't remember a Charmes Godard that I crave this much. Tasted two times.

More Semillon-dominated, the 2024 Château Les Charmes-Godard Blanc checks in as 75% Semillon, 13% Sauvignon Blanc, and the rest Sauvignon Gris, vinified and aged in barrels, with 10% new. A killer white, it has ripe citrus, tart white peach, mint, and subtle floral notes as well as medium to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It's concentrated, has a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful balance, and a clean, crisp finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. Drink 2025-2035. (05/2025)

Shoots from the glass with vibrant notes of lemon tart, yuzu zest, and lime blossoms, plus touches of wet pebbles and white pepper. The light-bodied palate is refreshing and chalky with loads of savory and mineral nuances and impressive length. (05/2025)
