93-95/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2023 Blanc de Tronquoy prances out with gregarious scents of juicy pears, yellow apples, and spice cake followed by hints of honeysuckle, mandarin peel, and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate delivers bags of orchard fruit flavors, with well-knit acidity and finishing with spicy lift. This is nicely done! The blend is 51% Semillon and 49% Sauvignon Gris, with pH 3.04. Jean-Bernard Delmas planted this vineyard of just 2 hectares in 2008.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Fleshy nectarine, stone fruits, white flower, steady delivery of spice and acidity, reserved power power, grilled elderflower, enjoyable. Jean Bernard Delmas planted the white vines here in 2008, 5,000 bottles produced, first vintage 2011, even split of Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris which is unusual in the Medoc.

The 2023 Tronquoy-Lalande Blanc has a pretty, floral bouquet, though it needs just a little more delineation, the Sauvignon Gris (yes, Gris) perhaps denuding it a little complexity. The palate is well balanced with a fine texture, revealing notes of lime and orange zest and touches of mango and passion fruit. It’s quite poised toward the finish. Delightful.
