St Emilion dry whites

I was browsing at the Decanter Website when I came across their recent tasting of top 2012 Bordeaux dry whites. It was not too surprising for the Pavillon Blanc de Margaux to come out top, but a little more surprising that this top ten lineup only included one from Graves or Pessac-Leognan. The inclusion of the white of 2 St Julien Cru Classe, Talbot and Lagrange, was certainly interesting as was the dry white of Ch Doisy-Daene.

The real surprise was that there were 3 St Emilion whites, seeing that white wines from St Emilion are rarely found until a few years ago. Of course, like the dry white from a Sauternes chateau, they will just be generic Bordeaux. I have seen the Monbousquet white on sale but not the one from Magrez Fombruage or Valandraud.
