Château Couhins Blanc

Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the Couhins 2017 Blanc starts off a little closed before revealing scents of fresh lime juice, lemonade and orange blossoms plus hints of wet pebbles, jasmine and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating citrus and mineral layers plus a racy backbone, finishing long and chalky.

Fresh and a little smoky. Very nice creamy citrus fruit, lots of fruit sweetness even with very crisp acidity and the grassy Sauvignon Blanc notes. Deep-fruited. A little sweet/sour at the moment but good intensity and length.

This shows so much intensity and brightness with sliced limes and lemons. Some papaya, too. Medium-bodied, tight and fresh with vivid acidity. Drink or hold.
