Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc 2024

Lemon balm, creaminess, some waxy fruit, acacia and white peach. Lovely scents and more than just citrus. Round, layered and interesting, this has a tiny touch of pineapple giving sweetness and bitterness with peach and pear and crisp apple too. Lovely weight and focus to this. Layered and determined but with a gentle confidence. Great for the vintage, tangy, clean, pure but so alive! Really just amazing energy here. I love it. Great complexity and nuance. Ageing 8% new barrels. 3.04pH.

The 2024 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is one of the best editions of this wine I can remember tasting. Rich and ample, the 2024 possesses notable textural richness but also a good bit of moderating vibrancy. The balance here is simply superb. Lemon confit, almond, white flowers and chalk build into the layered, resonant finish.

The 2024 Cos d'Estournel Blanc has more delineation and tension than the Pagodes on the nose. It's more citrus-driven with touches of yuzu and lime. The palate is fresh and bright on the entry, with a keen line of acidity and an intense lemon peel- and orange zest-tinged finish. This is a very fine Cos d'Estournel Blanc that will be difficult to resist in its youth.
