Tasting Notes
Wonderfully chiselled, intensely vertical and sublimely tense and fresh, lively and energetic this is the epitome of what makes this a great vintage for the dry whites on these kinds of terroirs and in the hands of great technicians. This is glorious already with those lovely zesty notes, orange blossom too and a hint of green tea and yuzu, almost even a touch of grated ginger, but it will age effortlessly too. Radiantly sapid and grippy on the finish in a way that wonderfully refreshes the palate. Excellent.

A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Sauvignon Gris, the 2024 Couhins Blanc exhales aromas of pear, spring flowers and angelica. Medium-bodied, tense and straight, it's lively with incisive acidity that leads to a mouthwatering finish.
Pineapple, citrus, this has some pretty grippy acidity overall, well structured, slim, elderflower and apple blossom aromatics, good quality. Harvest 6 to 14 September. 70% new oak.
Lemons, orange rind, and flowers form the core of the wine. Quite zesty, and lively on the palate, the wine is packed with freshly squeezed lemon juice drizzled over green apples, with just a splash of spicy, pineapples in the endnote. This should be ready-to-go on release. The wine blends 94% Sauvignon Blanc with 6% Sauvignon Gris.
