Tasting notes
The 2022 Couhins Lurton Blanc has a better nose than Bouscaut and Carbonnieux Blanc(s), with bright yellow plum and waxy scents, a little backward yet nicely focused. The palate is taut and fresh, well balanced and lightly spiced, with an attractive, very Graves-like texture on the appealing finish. Worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Fresh and lively, the 2022 Blanc from Couhins-Lurton exhibits aromas of lemon, grapefruit, spring flowers and ripe pear, followed by a moderately weighted, round and juicy palate with a lively, energetic mid-palate and a long, mouthwatering, floral finish. It's entirely crafted from Sauvignon Blanc.
Based on 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 Château Couhins-Lurton Blanc is juicy and bright, with lemon, minty herbs, and sappy floral notes. Medium-bodied, it has good acidity, purity, and a refreshing, vibrant profile.
The 2022 Couhins-Lurton Blanc has a delightful bouquet with yellow plum, almond and light lemon thyme scents. The palate is fresh on the entry, with quite a bit of new oak, but it is well defined. Given a year in bottle, it should drink well for five or six years.
