Cos D`Estournel`s white wine is a classic Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blend made in small quantities, less than 1000 cases annually, and was first produced in 2005. The 2019 vintage is 65% Sauvignon and 35% Semillon and saw a very light touch of new oak, just 8%. The Semillon adds weight and structure to the blend with deft stone and tropical fruits to balance classic vibrant acidity and citrus fruits from the Sauvignon Blanc. This is drinking superbly now but will age gracefully.

The 2019 Cos d'Estournel Blanc saw a light 8% new oak and was bottled in September 2020. There is clearly a step up in complexity vis-à-vis the Pagodes de Cos Blanc, with more delineation and mineralité, and touches of mirabelle and wild peach emerging with time. The well-balanced palate offers melon, Golden Delicious apple and yellow plum notes, fine acidity, and ample weight on a finish that is texturally not dissimilar to a Corton-Charlemagne. Excellent.
