Wine Description
The Story
The power of the elements. Unique in character, Cos d’Estournel Blanc evokes the coolness of sea spray and salty sea winds whipping one’s face while also conjuring the warmth and richness of the land. A generous, lively wine, it brings to mind a slice of bread spread thickly with quince jam, a sun-drenched stall of autumn fruit or sudden recollections of the sweetest summer moments.
Wine Information
Thanks to their ever deeper root systems, their proximity to the Gironde Estuary and its breezes, and the ongoing dedication of our teams in the vineyard, the vines of Cos d’Estournel Blanc have produced a 2022 vintage with astonishing balance, remarkable density, and an ethereal character.
The 2022 vintage delivers a harmonious balance between the generosity of the estate’s Sémillon, which lend an enveloping yet weightless quality to the wine, and the fresh, elegant minerality of its Sauvignon Blanc.
Notes of pear, lemon, beeswax, and lily of the valley offer wonderful complexity with a long finish that leaves no doubt as to the vintage’s great aging potential.
