Cos d'Estournel Blanc 2025 (750ML)

90-93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2025 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is a potent, driving dry white. Green apple, pear, mint, white flowers and candied lime are some of the many nuances that develop with a bit of time in the glass. There's gorgeous mid-palate richness here that just needs time to emerge. (Drink between 2028-2033)" 04/26

98-99 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "An incredible wine with electrifying acidity and great depth and concentration. It’s full-bodied and full of character, showing fresh and dried citrus, then honeysuckle and other white flowers. The palate takes off with bright, intense acidity. A pH of just over 3 gives a unique combination of tangy acidity and ripe fruit. Special white. 56% sauvignon blanc and 44% semillon. Best ever?" 04/26

96 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Strong Sauvignon Blanc aromatics with fragrant floral elements. Juicy and alive, this has a citrus and crisp green apple kick - succulent and mouthwatering. A mix between lemon sherbet, pear drops, pineapple chunks and a really cool, fresh apple juice. Lovely combination of flavours ending clean and slightly stony. Textured, racy, fresh, understated. Totally moreish. Doesn’t wow like it can, but there’s something so appealing and compelling about this. 3pH." 03/26

90-92 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2025 Blanc, a blend of 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon, reveals aromas of white fruits, herbs and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s dense and structured with a tensile, more energetic profile than usual, concluding with a citrus-inflected, long and fresh finish." 04/26

95-97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Citrus, lemon zest, mint, and crushed stone notes all emerge from the 2025 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc, a vibrant, focused white based on 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon that's being raised in 6% new barriques. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with bright acidity and outstanding length. It's more inward and chiseled than the Pagodes release and will benefit from a few years of bottle age. This is a brilliant white." 05/26

96 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Love the two whites from Cos this year, each with its own character and personality. They field grafted the vines back in 2021 onto more limestone-rich soils, and the results are clear in the glass. This is juicy, characterful, with structure and depth, fleshy white peach and pear, sage and lemongrass, waves of oyster shell and sea spray, steel and silk, with long ageing potential. Harvest August 25 to September 6 % new oak. 3 pH, even lower than 2024." 04/26
