This is so dense and layered with complex dried-pineapple, stone and cooked-apple character. Mineral undertones. Full and powerful with a lightly salty finish. Enormous wine yet always fresh. 66% sauvignon blanc and 24% semillon. Better to drink in 2020 but fantastic now. ... More details

The 2014 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is deep, pliant and super-expressive. In 2014, it is the wine's textural depth and resonance that stands out. The late harvest resulted in white grapes endowed with a magical combination of density, power and freshness. Although the blend is 66% Sauvignon Blanc and 34% Semillon, there are essentially no green or grassy notes to be found. Even with all of its intensity, the 2014 remains bright and finely cut throughout. Lemon oil, white flowers, mint and sage are laced into the beautifully textured finish. This is a very strong showing from Cos d'Estournel.

Mouthwatering from the start, offering a vibrant quinine note followed by salted butter, lemon pith and talc notes. A flash of lemon gelée on finish gives this just enough weight to offset the bracing feel. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2019. 717 cases made.

Barrel Sample. There is just a streak of herbaceousness here, but the core of this wine boasts ripe yellow-fruit notes and a touch of spice from the wood aging.

Varietal: White Bordeaux

The blended white wines of the Bordeaux region of France are famed worldwide for their complexity of flavor and superbly balanced characteristics. They are most commonly made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes, although French law dictates that Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac can all also be used in the production of these excellent wines. For centuries, the wineries of this region have been working and perfecting the skills necessarily to get the most flavor and positive characteristics of these grapes, and other wine producing countries in the world will no doubt continue to emulate these world leaders when it comes to selecting and blending said grape varietals.

Region: Bordeaux

Of all the wine regions in France, the mostly highly esteemed and famous is surely Bordeaux. Most commonly associated with their superb examples of blended red wines, usually made with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot varietals, Bordeaux consistently demonstrates that their mix of traditional and modern wine-making styles is the recipe for fame and success. The region benefits greatly from its humid climate, and the fact that its clay and gravel based soils are perfect for growing the fine grape varietals which flourish there. The region is split into quite distinct sub-regions, with the finest generally believed to be the Left Bank and the Médoc region, where many of the most well known chateaux are based and produce their wonderful red and white wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
