Note di degustazione
Compact, with clear austerity to the tannins that have not quite settled down over ageing. This is a site with dense cool clays, and it can remain reticent for the first few years, but you see the wall of fruit underneath that suggests this hidden power is going to deliver excellence with a few years in bottle. Precision and flesh to fruits that are dominated by bilberry and cassis flavours. Stephane Derenoncourt consultant since 2017.

A blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 54% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Couhins came in at 14% alcohol and is being aged in French oak barrels, 33% new, for approximately 12 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes wafting out of the glass with fragrant notions of lavender, wild thyme and raspberry leaves over a core of black cherries, mulberries and redcurrant jelly. Medium-bodied, the palate has a rugged, chewy frame and a lively backbone supporting the red and back fruit flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
