| "Freshly shelled peas on the nose with green apple aromas. Zingy and full of life straight away, vibrant yet so well controlled.
A beautiful glass of wine with excellent acidity, weight, and texture. It has a lovely salty, iodine tang to the lemon, lime, orange rind, pineapple, grapefruit pith, and green apple. Thrilling and vibrant but clean and crisp. So well worked, focused so give this a year or two for it to settle and expand but this is a great white from 2020.
A wine to buy - and, more importantly, to drink and enjoy."
Georgie Hindle, Decanter Magazine

| | | "With a history extending back to the 17th century, Château Couhins boasts one of the oldest vineyards in the Graves region. At that time, it comprised two estates – Domaine de la Gavette and Domaine du Pont de Langon – which eventually merged, giving rise to Château Couhins. In 1883, the property was acquired by a renowned Bordeaux merchant, Constantin Hanappier, before being consolidated – through marriages and inheritances – into the holdings of the Gasqueton family, then-owners of Saint-Estèphe Châteaux Calon-Ségur and Capbern Gasqueton. Under Édouard Gasqueton’s judicious leadership, the 60-hectare estate began to establish a reputation for producing exceptional wines.
At the request of the Syndicat de Défense de l’Appellation des Graves, the Institut National des Appellations d’Origine (INAO) established a classification of the regions’ best wines in 1959.
Based on the scores provided by the Bordeaux courtiers judging the classification, Château Couhins was awarded the Grand Cru Classé de Graves title."

| | | 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on predominantly clay-limestone slopes on a cool, northern hillside of the estate rich in brittle limestone |
| ‣ "This estate makes a brilliant white, and their 2020 Château Couhins Blanc is pure gold, offering a bright citrus and lemon zest core as well as lots of white flowers and honeyed mineral-like nuances. Medium-bodied, bright, racy, yet also concentrated, it's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades." Jeb Dunnuck
