Château Couhins 2017 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fresh, fruity, racy, elegant, precise and offers a very fine fleshiness. It reveals notes of crunchy peach, crunchy apple and fresh citrus associated with small touches of mandarin zests as well as a hint of quenette/exotic fruits, fresh/crunchy pinapple, flint and a very discreet hint of fresh almond. The palate is fresh, fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a good definition, a fine mineral frame, gourmandize, precise, suavity, elegance, harmony, a very fine unctuosity as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy apple, fleshy peach and more slightly ripe/juicy citrus (lemon, grapefruit, mandarin) associated with a hint of William pear and quenette. Good length.
