Château Couhins Pessac-Léognan Blanc Grand Cru Classé de Graves 2020

“This estate makes a brilliant white, and their 2020 Château Couhins Blanc is pure gold, offering a bright citrus and lemon zest core as well as lots of white flowers and honeyed mineral-like nuances. Medium-bodied, bright, racy, yet also concentrated, it's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.”

“Pure, fresh and mineral aromas, pale stone fruit, ripe citrus and some grassy notes. Dense and fresh palate, nice balance with both power and precision, elegant fruit, fine extract, stony notes and a very long finish, excellent.”

“Because the wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, you find a lot of bright acidity that adds to the blast of green apples, lemons, oranges, grapefruits and yellow plums. Juicy, creamy, fresh and lifted at the end, this is a fabulous, white Bordeaux. Drink from 2023-2035.”

“Light greenish yellow with silver reflections. Hints of vanilla and pineapple, a touch of orange blossom, subtle herbal savouriness: an inviting bouquet. Complex, white apple, tight structure, a touch of wood, mineral, delicately salty on the finish. The wine is well balanced and is a harmonious companion at the table.”

“A perfumed nose here, with notes of pears, lemon pith and gooseberries, as well as hints of currant leaf and acacia. Medium-bodied with vivid acidity. Juicy and crunchy with notes of oyster shell and crushed stones. Creamy and lengthy finish. Sauvignon blanc and gris. Drink now.”
