Tasting notes
The 2025 Cos d'Estournel Blanc was picked between August 25 and September 3 and matured in just 6% new oak. It is very fragrant and pure on the nose, Anjou pear and wild peach, vanilla pod and light chamomile scents evolving with time in the glass. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced, with a silver thread of acidity. Fine tension, quite persistent in the mouth, with a brisk and focused finish, this is a delicious white Cos d'Estournel that, again, will be difficult to resist once in bottle.

Citrus, lemon zest, mint, and crushed stone notes all emerge from the 2025 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc, a vibrant, focused white based on 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon that's being raised in 6% new barriques. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with bright acidity and outstanding length. It's more inward and chiseled than the Pagodes release and will benefit from a few years of bottle age. This is a brilliant white.
Tropical fruits, ginger, honeysuckle, spice, pears, green apples, pineapple, and lemon pith forge the perfume. On the palate, the wine is racy, vibrant, juicy, and fresh. The finish leaves you with with a blast of sweet citrus and juicy white peaches. The wine blends 56% Sauvignon Blanc, with 44% Semillon. 13.17% ABV, 3.0 pH.
An incredible wine with electrifying acidity and great depth and concentration. Itâs full-bodied and full of character, showing fresh and dried citrus, then honeysuckle and other white flowers. The palate takes off with bright, intense acidity. A pH of just over 3 gives a unique combination of tangy acidity and ripe fruit. Special white. 56% sauvignon blanc and 44% semillon. Best ever?
