Energy pulses through Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc 2018, with vivid lime and grapefruit, touches of tart pineapple and stone fruit, and a subtle creamy note from the Sémillon giving depth and gloss to the mid-palate. Chalky, saline-tinged minerality and bright acidity stretch the flavors into a long, precise finish that shows both tension and richness, promising further nuance with a few more years in bottle.

Cos d’Estournel Blanc is the luminous white counterpart to this famed Saint-Estèphe second growth, blending mainly Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon to give a Bordeaux Blanc of striking freshness and depth. Grown on cool, northern Médoc terroir near the Gironde estuary and raised in French oak, it marries vivid citrus and orchard-fruit vibrancy with subtle exotic, nutty and toasty notes, delivering a textured, ageworthy wine that remains precise, mineral and gastronomic at heart.
