Château Couhins 2015

Cassis blossom and herbs, very “Sauvignon Blanc”; shows freshness, breed and breadth, tension and length, all excellently crafted; superb and confirmation of the estate being in top form.

Elegant aromas of gunsmoke, preserved lemon and poached pears with nutmeg and clove notes. Waxy and rich on the palate.

A very succulent wine with tart lemon and grapefruit flavors, a taut palate, and a very fresh, deep finish. Drink or hold.

Mid-weight lanolin nose. A bit stolid and chunky. Lots of citrus chunks! (JR)

Sweet, bright, fresh, crisp and tart lemons, grapefruit, flowers and lime provide the backdrop for this fresh, refreshing, zesty, citrus-filled charmer.

Light yellow-green, silver reflections, fine yellow tropical fruit, a hint of pineapple, smoky-herbal background, subtle touch of wood. Medium body, soft notes of pear, fresh acidity, lime on the finish, lemony, racy aperitif wine.

(90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Gris, production of 15,000 bottles) Light, slender bouquet, grapefruit, green herbs. Soft, light palate with delicate fruit, ripe acidity, light aromatics, medium finish. 16/20 2017 - 2025

Expressive nose with abundant white fruit and pronounced spice; a round, fleshy, aromatic palate, genuinely mineral and balanced by great liveliness.

Low yield, but with tension and a long, linear palate.

The wine is fresh—very fresh indeed—with a fine acidic backbone adorned with lemony notes from Sauvignon’s varietal side.

Pale color. Fruity, floral nose. Soft, fruity, pleasant palate, with a taste of fresh apricot mid-palate. Finish of average length.

This is a rich style of white, in keeping with the rich vintage. Its acidity and tight texture are paired off with the apricot and ripe pear fruitiness. Spice from wood aging adds an attractive background. Drink from 2022.
