2019 Chateau Cos d'Estournel BLANC St Estephe

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon aging in French oak barriques, 8% new, the 2019 Blanc is all limes and lemons to begin, soon opening out to reveal nuances of peach blossoms, wet pebbles, green apples and struck match with a touch of coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with citrusy flavors, possessing impressive weight and creamy texture, finishing with loads of mineral layers and bags of freshness. – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, June 3, 2020

James Suckling (JS)

This is incredibly long and refined with a compact structure and beautiful tension. It goes on and on. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and energetic. Lovely bitterness and brightness. Lemons, stones and limes. Flint, too. The grapes were harvested at three different moments. It’s beautifully constructed. – James Suckling, June 3, 2020

Vinous Media (VM)

The 2019 Cos d’Estournel Blanc is a wine of real breadth, texture and resonance. Lemon peel white flowers, mint, sage and white pepper give the 2019 striking aromatic top notes and a real feeling of brilliance to complement the natural richness of the 35% Sémillon in this year’s blend. Exotic tropical accents add a good bit of vintage 2019 character. – Antonio Galloni – 18/06/2020
