Characteristics and tasting tips of Château Couhins white 2023
Tasting
Combining precision and refinement, this white wine stands out for its balance and aromatic purity.
The elegance and rich aromatic palette of a Pessac-Léognan white wine
The estate
The Château Couhins emerges from the archives in the 18th century. This estate originally brought together two old vineyards from the Graves. An integral part of the INRA (National Institute of Agronomic Research) network, Château Couhins puts its know-how and vineyard at the service of viticultural research and innovation.
The vineyard
The Château Couhins white 2023 is a Pessac-Léognan wine from a vineyard of 8 hectares planted around the town of Villenave d'Ornon, at the gates of Bordeaux. The vines are planted on a mosaic of terroirs formed by a clay-limestone hillside and a sandy-clay plateau. Sauvignon Blanc is king and occupies 90% of the vineyard. Sauvignon Gris makes up the rest of the vines. To preserve this precious terroir, the estate practices environmentally friendly viticulture.
Vinification and aging
A cold pneumatic pressing under inert gas in whole harvests is carried out, followed by a light settling. Alcoholic fermentation before aging for 10 months in barrels (of which 21% are new) on lees with regular stirring.
Blend
Sauvignon Blanc (96%)
Sauvignon Gris (4%).
