Château Couhins Blanc 2012
Pessac-Leognan AOC Grand Cru Classe
From the finest area in the Graves, Pessac Léognan, this is a superb, rich and complex wine. The area has a reputation for its long lived whites and this 2012 certainly bears this out. Ageing for 9 months in oak has lent a creamy spice to lush fruit.

The only Bordeaux estate ever to be classified purely for its white wines, Château Couhins specialises in the superb fine wines of Graves' Pessac Léognan. They are a style that manages to age for years, gaining deep complexity and richness - very fine food wines. In 2009 Château Couhins underwent a complete renovation, making it one of the most sophicated in all Bordeaux. Leaving behind the grand château tradition, the buildings are some of the most futuristic in Bordeaux. It's very much eco-friendly and energy efficient, utilising some of the most sophisticated technology. Using Sauvignon with a little Sémillon, this wine is part fermented and aged in barrel. Complex and spicy, it's a perfect fit with sushi and meatier fish or chicken.
