The Château Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2024 is a striking expression of white Bordeaux craftsmanship, proving once again that great white wines can also hail from the Médoc. The 2024 vintage is exceptionally pure and focused, with brilliant aromatic precision. On the nose, a cool, multi-layered bouquet unfolds with white peach skin, grapefruit, lemon zest, and a hint of exotic fruits such as pineapple and yuzu, subtly interwoven with floral notes of orange blossom and a saline, almost chalky minerality. The high proportion of Sauvignon Blanc lends the wine energy, freshness, and aromatic tension, while Sémillon contributes depth, texture, and a gentle richness. On the palate, the wine is simultaneously silky and taut, with remarkable freshness and inner tension. Judiciously judged oak ageing imparts structure without obscuring the radiant fruit. The finish is long, linear, and vibrant, marked by an almost iodine-tinged minerality that lends the wine nobility and coastal character. Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2024 is not an ostentatious white wine – rather, it is a filigree masterpiece of Burgundian nobility and unmistakable signature, ranking among the most thrilling dry white wines of the vintage. A grand white wine with ageing potential and meditative depth.
