Tasting Notes

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.

Score: 92

The 2019 Cos d'Estournel Blanc, picked 16-23 September and seeing just 8% new oak, has more vibrancy and tension on the nose compared to the Pagodes de Clos Blanc, scents of orange blossom and yellow plums, the Sémillon very expressive. The palate is sharp and racy on the entry with green apple, melon, passion fruit and a slight tang of pink grapefruit towards the finish. Moderate length. Give it two or three years in bottle.

Score: 91 - 93

The 2019 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is terrific. Broad and resonant in feel, the Blanc offers a compelling mix of richness and energy. Citrus peel, flowers, mint, sage and white pepper lend aromatic brilliance. The 35% Sémillon in the blend adds weight and an attractive tropical flair that emerges with a bit of aeration.

Score: 94

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024-2034 01 February 2022

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.

Tasting so good right now, very easy to fall in love with. Here you get texture, weight and purity, striking citrus zest, touch of bitter almonds and smoked tobacco leaf, a wide array of flavours that you can fall into.

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.

Score: 92 - 94
