Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc is a rare and highly sought-after white Bordeaux from Saint Estephe, crafted primarily from Sauvignon Blanc with Semillon. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, white peach, passion fruit, acacia blossom, and flinty minerality lead to a rich yet vibrant palate with remarkable precision, creamy texture, and an exceptionally long finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, scallops, turbot, grilled sea bass, oysters, or aged goat cheese for an outstanding white Bordeaux experience.
97 Points - James Suckling
A strikingly expressive white with aromas of dried tropical fruits, including mango and green papaya, layered with lemon, lime and crisp green apple. Full-bodied yet tightly knit, it combines muscular structure with vibrant freshness, delivering exceptional length and persistence. A blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc and 34% Sémillon.
96 Points - Decanter
Ripe and aromatic, the bouquet reveals caramelized lemon, honey, peach and wet stone notes. The palate is beautifully defined, offering remarkable precision with vibrant acidity, crisp citrus fruit and a saline mineral backbone. Gentle spice emerges toward the finish, suggesting excellent aging potential, while subtle bitterness, freshness and lift create an elegant, gourmet style with outstanding balance and a long, refined finish.
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2020 Château Cos d'Estournel Blanc, composed of 66% Sauvignon Blanc and 34% Sémillon, delivers impressive richness and complexity. Aromas of honeyed pineapple, melon, crushed stone and savory herbs lead into a medium- to full-bodied palate with layered texture, refined elegance and a beautifully persistent finish. One of the standout white Bordeaux wines of the vintage, it should continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With a higher proportion of Sémillon than the estate's second wine, the 2020 Château Cos d'Estournel Blanc is richer and more textural, offering expressive aromas of lemongrass, nectarine, peach and ginger. Medium- to full-bodied, it combines layered fruit with a silky, satiny palate and excellent balance.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This wine beautifully balances vibrant citrus with ripe tropical fruit, creating both freshness and richness. Its generous texture and layered fruit promise even greater complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed from 2025 onward.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
A finely structured white Bordeaux with a bracing saline edge framing flavors of white peach and lemon pith. The finish is long, pure and sharply defined, showcasing excellent precision. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
