Note di degustazione
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel Blanc features a higher proportion of Sémillon (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.

The 2020 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc, a blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc and 34% Semillon, brings another level of density as well as complexity. Honeyed pineapple, melon, crushed stone, and spicy, savory herbs notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a beautifully layered, elegant mouthfeel and a great finish. It's a gem of a white and ranks with the crème de la crème of the vintage. It should keep for 10-15 years.
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel Blanc has a complex nose with scents of honeysuckle, orchard fruit and hints of chamomile. It is very well defined with the Sémillon component becoming increasingly expressive with aeration. The palate is well balanced with impressive weight, again, driven by the Sémillon that lends both texture and complexity. This seems a little spicier and edgier than from barrel. Harmonious, quite detailed on the finish with touches of orange rind and ginger. This is a lovely dry white Bordeaux from the Cos d'Estournel team.
