Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

From holdings in the north of the Médoc and incorporating an increasing percentage of Sémillon, the 2019 Cos d’Estournel Blanc offers up aromas of pear, confit citrus, lemon grass and pastry cream, followed by a full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s rich and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. This is a fine effort that could embarrass plenty of Pessac-Léognan whites.

Winespectator (93)

Showcases both plump and racy aspects, with verbena and tarragon notes infusing a core of white peach, star fruit and jicama. The long finish has nice clarity. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

James Suckling (98)

Sliced-apple and lime with some aniseed and licorice. Iodine, too. Full-bodied with linear acidity and a fine tannin structure that goes on for minutes. 65% sauvignon blanc and 35% semillon. This is fantastic and so delicious now, but can age for a very long time.

Falstaff (95)

Light yellow-green, silver highlights. Some caramel, mango, apricot, delicate nuances of meadow herbs, delicate woody spice, underlain by a mineral-citrus touch. Elegant texture, white fruit, subtle sweetness, some pineapple, well-integrated woody components, still very restrained, has power and length, a complex food companion with ageing potential.
