James Suckling: An incredible wine with electrifying acidity and great depth and concentration. It’s full-bodied and full of character, showing fresh and dried citrus, then honeysuckle and other white flowers. The palate takes off with bright, intense acidity. A pH of just over 3 gives a unique combination of tangy acidity and ripe fruit. Special white. 56% sauvignon blanc and 44% semillon. Best ever?"

Decanter: Strong Sauvignon Blanc aromatics with fragrant floral elements. Juicy and alive, this has a citrus and crisp green apple kick - succulent and mouthwatering. A mix between lemon sherbet, pear drops, pineapple chunks and a really cool, fresh apple juice. Lovely combination of flavours ending clean and slightly stony. Textured, racy, fresh, understated. Totally moreish. Doesn’t wow like it can, but there’s something so appealing and compelling about this. 3pH."

Jeb Dunnuck: Citrus, lemon zest, mint, and crushed stone notes all emerge from the 2025 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc, a vibrant, focused white based on 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon that's being raised in 6% new barriques. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with bright acidity and outstanding length. It's more inward and chiseled than the Pagodes release and will benefit from a few years of bottle age. This is a brilliant white."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2025 Blanc soars from the glass with intense notes of fresh pineapple and passion fruit, leading to an undercurrent of lime blossoms, gooseberries, and chalk dust. The light- to medium-bodied palate is laden with tightly packed tropical and citrus fruit layers, supported by a very crisp backbone and chalky texture, finishing long and minerally. Superb. The blend is 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon. It has a pH of 3.0 and the alcohol is 13.17%."
