COS D'ESTOURNEL BLANC [ST ESTEPHE] 2019 750ML

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.

The flagship, the 2019 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc is a racier white offering lots of beautiful citrus, white flowers, and a salty, mineral-like quality. With beautiful concentration and terrific balance as well as great acidity, it's another fabulous white from this team, if not surpassing the 2018.

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.

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.
