DECANTER: "A gorgeous wine that exudes both clean citrus and inimitable Loire like silex and salinity. Tasted twice, and while the sister estate Château La Louvière shows more seductive breadth, the Couhins-Lurton should win in the long run with superior seashell freshness, purity and precision. Yes, much tangier than the La Louvière, but ageing (in 30% new oak) will build breadth and depth."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Very pure and beautiful with lemon, lime and citrus. Minerals, too. Medium-bodied, racy and long. This is going to be really excellent."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart nach frischem Apfel, ein Hauch von Grapefruit, weiße Blüten, mineralischer Touch. Saftig, stoffig, feine Pfirsichnote, lebendige Struktur, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, bereits gut entwickelt, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "White flowers, lemons, grapefruit, green apples, vanilla, and a hint of white peach create the complex aromatic profile. Sweet, fresh, and vibrant, the wine displays its core of yellow citrus, with its salty, white peach accent the palate with ease. The wine is close to 100% whole bunch fermented, and aged in a combination of new, and used French oak barrels, amphora, and finished in stainless steel vats. The wine is always produced with 100% Sauvignon Blanc. 13.5% ABV 3.06 pH. Drink from 2025-2034."
