Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Couhins Blanc Grand Cru 2021

95–96
/100

Den ældgamle vingård blev opdelt i 1960’erne; Couhins-Lurton blev så at sige udskilt, mens det oprindelige slot forblev i statens eje og fortsatte med at blive drevet af det franske landbrugsforskningsinstitut. Et eksperimentarium på højeste niveau, uden nogen form for økonomisk pres. Hvidvinene har derfor altid været utroligt gode, og med deres storslåede terroir af grus, sand og ler samt den perfekte dræning hører de til blandt det allerbedste, Bordeaux i dag har at byde på inden for hvidvin. DET er målestokken for Sauvignon Blanc! Der findes intet, der kan måle sig med denne vin til en så spændende pris. Og denne vingård, der ligger i Pessac og i umiddelbar nærhed af Bordeaux, tæller Haut-Brion, Pape Clément, Domaine de Chevalier og Smith Haut Lafitte blandt sine naboer. Det er da gode referencer! Og årgangene 23, 24 og 25 spiller helt klart til vinens fordel.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Couhins Blanc Grand Cru

This is great in bottle as it was En Primeur, captures the grip and sense of mometum that the best whites have in this vintage. Sculpted citrus and lime zest, touch of sage and saffran, measured and juicy on the finish. Look out for this. Valerie Lavigne consultant winemaking, Jacques Lurton owner. Harvest September 9 to 27. The red is impressive in the vintage also, a success in both colours.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Couhins Blanc Grand Cru

Flowers, yellow citrus, pineapple, mango with just a touch of white peach in the background of the nose and palate. Balanced between its racy freshness and creamy textures, this is a contender for the best white produced in the history of Couhins. Drink from 2023-2032.

Galloni om: Chateau Couhins Blanc Grand Cru

The 2021 Couhins Blanc turned out beautifully. Bright and focused, the 2021 possesses tons of verve that gives the wine its distinctive character. Lemon peel, sage, mint, crushed rocks and slate all race out of the glass. This is impeccably done.

Alexandre Ma om: Chateau Couhins Blanc Grand Cru

Round and sweet at the beginning, and turns vigorous and strong on the finish. The high acidity of the 100% Sauvignon (including 4% Sauvignon Gris) and the clay-limestone soil effortlessly shape up the whole body of the wine. This powerful wine gives out fresh fragrances of bergamot and white peach in the mouth, and ends with the characteristic saltiness of the Couhins white. Absolutely an excellent Bordeaux white wine with huge potential.
