Decanter

Really quite ripe and heady aromatics – perfumed and rich with some caramel and toast nuances. Sour and sharp fruit joins quite cooling acidity and fleshy tannins to give a round mouthfeel but with slightly unbalanced flavours right now. A little dry and oaky on the finish. Ageing in tight grain French oak barrels for 12 months. Eric Boissenot consultant. Tasted twice. 100th anniversary vintage of the Miailhe family. A yield of 15hl/ha.

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cask sample. Red-berry aromas, even a hint of damson. Palate lively and fresh with present fruit and no overt tension. Chalky texture to the finish. Structured. Should keep. (JL)

Juicy black cherries, currants, and a hint of cocoa pop on the nose, and on the lifted, medium-bodied, fresh palate, it finishes with savory herbs and dusty chalk. Drink from 2027–2037. 87–89 pts

Jane Anson

Majors on redcurrant fruits, chalky tannins, rose bud and capsicum, there is vivacity through the palate and a mouthwatering finish with high acidities. Blend given is plantings not vintage, 15hl/ha yield.

Description

An authentic Haut-Médoc with hints of Pomerol

The estate

Created in the 18th century under the name Cousran, the Château Coufran adopted its current spelling in 1924 when it was acquired by Louis Miailhe. Located in the Haut-Médoc at Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, this Bordeaux estate covers seventy-six hectares of gravel near the Gironde estuary. A family property for a century, this dynasty of Bordeaux wine merchants has owned the estate since 1924. Coufran’s uniqueness lies in its dominance of merlot, a strategic choice initiated by Louis Miailhe. This distinctive character in the Haut-Médoc earned Château Coufran the nickname “ Pomerol du Médoc ”.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château Coufran thrives on an exceptional terroir in the Haut-Médoc, composed of gravel on marl with a clay subsoil. This geological mosaic, located near the Gironde estuary, benefits from a microclimate favorable to grape ripening. The seventy-six hectares of vines, averaging fifty years old, guarantee optimal concentration of aromas.

The wine

The 2024 vintage symbolically marks the centenary of the Miailhe family's leadership of the estate. This special year represents a tribute to one hundred years of know-how and winemaking tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Winemaking and aging

Harvesting, carried out partly by hand and partly mechanically, allows for a rigorous selection of grapes. Winemaking takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aging is carried out over twelve months in French oak barrels.

Blend

The blend of this Château Coufran 2024 consists of 85% merlot and 15% cabernet sauvignon.
