Less than 1,000 cases are produced annually of Cos d'Estournel's white wine which is made from grapes grown in the Goulée vineyard in the Northern Médoc. The vineyard is planted with 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. First produced in 2005 and now there is also a second wine - Pagodes de Cos Blanc.
The 2025 vintage is a blend of 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon. Aged in barrel but only a small amount of new oak.
The 2025 Cos d'Estournel Blanc was picked between August 25 and September 3 and matured in just 6% new oak. It is very fragrant and pure on the nose, Anjou pear and wild peach, vanilla pod and light chamomile scents evolving with time in the glass. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced, with a silver thread of acidity. Fine tension, quite persistent in the mouth, with a brisk and focused finish, this is a delicious white Cos d'Estournel that, again, will be difficult to resist once in bottle. Drinking Window
2030 - 2050
Bright lemon in colour with juicy, bright and crunchy fruit. The palate is bright, breezy and elegant with zesty citrus fruit and flinty, spicy wood. The texture builds on the mid-palate, giving some breadth and complementing the more tropical pineapple fruit. Long and juicy on the finish.
The 2025 Blanc, a blend of 56% Sauvignon Blanc and 44% Sémillon, reveals aromas of white fruits, herbs and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s dense and structured with a tensile, more energetic profile than usual, concluding with a citrus-inflected, long and fresh finish.
An incredible wine with electrifying acidity and great depth and concentration. It’s full-bodied and full of character, showing fresh and dried citrus, then honeysuckle and other white flowers. The palate takes off with bright, intense acidity. A pH of just over 3 gives a unique combination of tangy acidity and ripe fruit. Special white. 56% sauvignon blanc and 44% semillon. Best ever?
The 2025 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is a potent, driving dry white. Green apple, pear, mint, white flowers and candied lime are some of the many nuances that develop with a bit of time in the glass. There's gorgeous mid-palate richness here that just needs time to emerge. 2028-2033.
