Château Couhins Lurton Pessac-Léognan blanc gcc. 2017 0,75l

Château Couhins-Lurton is a white Graves Classified Growth in Pessac-Léognan and the emblematic estate of the André Lurton family. The Sauvignon Blanc vines destined for the Blanc grow on a rare clay-limestone terroir with gravel influences that brings both tension and depth. The wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc and fermented and aged in a mix of oak barrels and amphorae. The bouquet offers white stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit, floral notes and a touch of herbs and spice. On the palate Château Couhins-Lurton Blanc is precise and mineral, with bright acidity, a slightly creamy mid-palate and impressive ageing capacity.

Ten months on full lees in oak barrels with bâtonnage give this Sauvignon Blanc length, roundness and mineral depth.
