Dried tropical fruits like mangoes and green papaya, with lemons and green apples. Limes, too. Full-bodied yet tight and compacted with great length and persistence. Muscular yet fresh. 66% sauvignon blanc and 34% semillon.

This wine is poised between the citrus and riper tropical flavors, giving it weight and the promise of richness to come.

Very solid, with a bracing fleur de sel edge around a core of white peach and lemon pith. The long, pure finish has excellent cut. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

The 2020 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is rich, creamy and sensual. Apricot, peach, white flowers, chamomile and lightly honeyed accents all build in the glass. The 2020 is a rich, textured white for gastronomy. I would love to have it at the dinner table.

The 2020 Cos d'Estournel Blanc features a higher proportion of Semillon (34%) than the Pagodes, and it's richer and more textural, bursting with aromas of lemongrass, nectarine, peach and ginger, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny palate.
