2023 Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc - Bordeaux Blanc AC

Decanter.com – 95 pts – GH: *Some herbal elements on the nose with peach, lime and a hint of mango, white chocolate and vanilla. Lovely weight and body, enough to be mouth filling and give some density and concentration on the palate. Lively, supple, a great richness and a touch of sweetness that gives it roundness while the Sauvignon Blanc adds crisp apple and green stone fruit. Extremely low ph of 3.14 keeps the focus on the freshness and acidity really countering the ripe fruit. A great effort this year.* - 04/2024

Falstaff Magazin – 93 pts - PM: *Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Frische weiße Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Litschi und Guave, gelbe Stachelbeeren, zart nach Limettenzesten. Saftig, weißer Pfirsich, elegant, frischer Säurebogen, rassig und lange anhaftend, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter.* - 05/2024

Vinum Magazin – 94/100 pts: *Tiefgründig, ausdrucksstark, nussig, Heu, Kräuter, zitrische Noten. Frischer Gaumen, zeigt Druck, Balance, viel Würze, langes Finale. Klasse!*

Vinous.com – (91-93) pts – AG: *The 2023 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is quite powerful and not especially aromatic today. At this stage, it is mostly the wine's body that makes an impression. The 2023 has good depth, but it is clearly not expressive today. It will be interesting to see what time brings.* - 04/2024

Vinous.com – (92-94) pts – NM: *The 2023 Cos d'Estournel Blanc, a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, offers slightly more tropical notes on the nose than Les Pagodes, with a touch more depth–hints of orange blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced with tangerine and lime, fine acidity, notable focus and a bright and tensile finish. This is another delicious white. It will be difficult to resist in its youth.* - 04/2024

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 95 pts – JL: *Pomelo, lemongrass, flowers, white peach, and crisp, green apples form the bouquet. The palate is zesty, fresh, and spicy, with a flattering crispness to the fruits, paired with a touch of honeysuckle that shines in the endnotes of the finish. This is the first vintage to include the new blocks, bringing the vineyard to 10 hectares of white wine grape varietals. The wine blends 70% Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% Semillon. Drink from 2024-2032.* - 05/2024
