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.

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.

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.
