Château Couhins-Lurton Blanc - Pessac-Léognan - White - 2022 :

 

Château Couhins-Lurton Blanc: A Premier White Bordeaux

As a Grand Cru Classé de Graves, Château Couhins-Lurton Blanc stands as a testament to the potential of 100% Sauvignon Blanc on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Sourced from a tiny 6-hectare plot of clay-limestone terroir, this wine is a true connoisseur's choice, combining power, finesse, and superb ageing capability.

The Sommelier's Notes: Structure and Salinity

The wine is a bright, pale yellow with green-silver highlights. The bouquet is intensely complex, offering classic Sauvignon notes of white peach and citrus zest, beautifully interwoven with hints of vanilla and toasted brioche from the barrel maturation. The palate is elegant and full-bodied, with a luxurious, silky texture. A vibrant, zesty acidity provides perfect balance, culminating in a long, refreshing, and slightly saline finish-the signature of a great Pessac-Léognan white. This wine is ready to enjoy now but will reward cellaring handsomely.
