Description
Characteristics and tasting tips of Château Couhins 2023
Tasting
This vintage elegantly combines a velvety touch with a broad structure and tannins of beautiful finesse.
A smooth and delicate Pessac-Léognan red wine
The estate
The Château Couhins emerges from the archives in the 18th century. This estate originally brings together two old wine properties 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 red 2023 is a Pessac-Léognan wine from a 23-hectare vineyard located around the town of Villenave d'Ornon at the gates of Bordeaux. The vines are planted on a mosaic of terroirs formed by a gravel mound and a clay-limestone hillside. To preserve this precious terroir, the estate practices environmentally friendly viticulture.
Vinification and aging
Following the harvest, the grapes are rigorously sorted before being gravity-fed into the vats. Fermentation with infusion and gentle pumping over. Maceration from 6 to 24 days depending on the batches. The 12-month aging is carried out in French oak barrels (23% of which are new).
Blend
Merlot (53%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (39%)
Petit Verdot (8%).
