Chateau Crabitey Graves Blanc displays a fine, light yellow color and a nice brilliance. Its nose is fine and complex - even lemony with its pomelo scent - with some smoky notes. In the mouth, the wine is fully developed and complex, with a nice volume as well as a light acidity for the freshness. The finish is long and distinguishes itself by nice and light woody and citrus fruit aromas.

"This wine's acidity and ripe tannins indicate a rich future. A smoky character lies behind both freshness and blackberry flavors. The wine will be ready from 2024. Vegan.- ROGER VOSS"

"The 2020 Crabitey Blanc, 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, offers an
attractive mix of bright, floral accents and textural depth. Lemon confit,
almonds, dried herbs, sage and mint are nicely lifted in this bright,
nuanced white. - Antonio Galloni."- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (January 2022), 89 pts

"Composed of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, the Crabitey 2019 Blanc has compelling scents of white peaches, grapefruit and passion fruit with hints of pineapple tart and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate has a seriously racy line of freshness cutting through the intense citrus and tropical fruit layers, finishing chalky. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown"
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Primeur tasting, July 2020) 88-90 pts
