Château Couhins Blanc 2021 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity, fresh, racy and reveals tension, accuracy and a certain intensity. We find notes of ripe citrus fruits, pulpy apple and more slightly fresh quenette combined with fine touches of zest and a discreet hint of mesocarp. The palate is fruity and reveals juiciness, some tension, an acidic backbone, a fine volume, a racy minerality, tension and a nice energy. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/ripe lemon, tangerine and slightly quince notes combined with delicate touches of pulpy/acidic vine peach as well as a fine hint of salinity, lime, pineapple and a subtle toasted touch (in the background).
