Chateau Cos d´Estournel - Chateau Cos d´Estournel blanc 2022

JAMES SUCKLING: "Pretty and rich white peach, pear and apple aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with plenty of fruit and bright acidity. Chalky and stony. Happy to watch."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Even more impressive, the 2022 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc is 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Sémillon brought up all in used oak. A focused, pure, seamless white, it has obvious minerality in its lemon and lime fruits as well as mint and leafy herb nuances. Hitting 13.4% alcohol with a pH of 3.2, it's going to benefit from a year or three of bottle age and drink beautifully over the following decade at least."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "White flowers, bright yellow citrus, green apples and pears create the enticing perfume. On the palate, it is the pomelo, lemon curd and a refreshing touch of spicy, green apples, with crisp citrus and vanilla that gives this freshness and ripe, sweet, fruit in the finish. The wine blends 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon. Drink from 2024-2032."

WEINWISSER: "74 % Sauvignon Blanc, 26 % Sémillon. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet, Grapefruitschale, Pomelozeste und Mandarine. Am komplexen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, pfeffrigem Extrakt und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten, intensiv aromatischen Finale Zitrusfrucht, Agrumen und erkalteter Grüntee. 2024 – 2039."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Feine Nuancen von rosa Grapefruit, reife Stachelbeeren, zart mit Mango unterlegt, weiße Blüten, facettenreiches Bukett. Stoffig, elegant, weiße Tropenfrucht, Nuancen von Litschi und Kiwi im Nachhall, frisch und balanciert, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „A blend of 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Semillon, the 2022 Cos d'Estournel Blanc powers out of the glass with intense notes of pink grapefruit, green guava, passionfruit, and lime blossoms, followed by hints of sea spray and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with tropical fruit and minerally flavors, supported by bright acidity and finishing very long and zesty. pH 3.21."

VINUM: "Interessante, fruchtig blumige Aromatik, verführerisch, aber auch komplex, von verblüffender Mineralität und Rasse für ein Jahr der Sommerhitze, saftig dicht, sehr lang. eigenständiger, grosser Weisswein, der reifen kann."
