Château Couhins Lurton Blanc – Pessac Léognan Rouge – Red – 2017:

 

A Grand Cru Classé White from Pessac-Léognan

Château Couhins-Lurton is a distinguished Cru Classé de Graves, celebrated for producing one of Bordeaux’s most age-worthy and sophisticated dry white wines. Exclusively from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the wine’s character is deeply rooted in its unique clay-limestone and gravelly terroir, which imparts both richness and profound freshness.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

This is a wine of rare elegance, moving far beyond simple varietal fruitiness to offer a complex tapestry of mineral, citrus, and oak-derived notes. Its structure promises exceptional longevity.

• Aroma: Intense aromas of bright citrus (lime, grapefruit), white peach, elderflower, and a distinctive wet-earth minerality.
• Taste: The texture is smooth and full, coating the palate before a vibrant, persistent acidity lifts the finish. Expect layers of complexity with sweet spice and a long, refreshing aftertaste.
• The Vintage: A wine built for the long haul, developing gorgeous complexity over ten years or more.

Food Pairing & Serving

Pair this prestigious white with equally refined dishes to fully appreciate its depth and balance.

• Serving Temperature: 12-14°C.
• Pairing Suggestions: Smoked Salmon and Prawns starter, Roast Chicken with Tarragon, Fresh Crab Salad, or a sophisticated Goat Cheese Tart.
