Tasting notes
The 2022 Cos d’Estournel Blanc is a wine of resonance and precision. Notes of pear, lemon and white pepper offer wonderful complexity. Linear and restrained, with a saline purity and persistence that drives the long, , sherbet-fresh, chalk-edged finish, this is impressive. It’s the first time that the wine hasn’t seen any new oak, and the purity that results is alluring. Blend: 74% Sauvignon Blanc, 26% Semillon

A blend of 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Sémillon, the 2022 Cos d'Estournel Blanc wafts from the glass with aromas of spices, ripe orchard fruits, boxwood and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, it's framed by delicate dry extracts and a phenolic, elegant bitterness enhanced by oaky notes, culminating in a long, saline and ethereal finish.
The Grand Vin 2022 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc is similarly light gold-hued and is based on 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Semillon. Lots of pear, white flowers, crushed citrus, and subtle salty nuances all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, rich, and layered, with a great finish. It's cut from the same cloth as the Pagodes yet brings a touch more precision, vibrancy, and length.
