2017 Cos d’Estournel Blanc, Bordeaux Blanc
The 2017 Cos d’Estournel Blanc has a very attractive bouquet that offers fresh lime, apricot blossom and subtle pineapple scents that I neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is well balanced with a harmonious entry and fine acidity, plenty of lime and green apple notes mixed with caramelised pear. The palate perhaps does not quite match the attractiveness on the aromatics, but will still drink well for the next 10 years.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Cos d’Estournel started making this white wine in 2005 from the Goulée vineyard. The 2017 Blanc is composed of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. It gives beautiful, expressive grapefruit, ripe peach and passion fruit notes with touches of baker’s yeast, powdered ginger, nutmeg and beeswax. Medium-bodied, vibrant, racy and with great finesse, it has a very long citrus and tropical fruit-laced finish. With plenty of structure and intensity, it should age reasonably well.

The 2017 Cos d’Estournel Blanc bristles with energy, much of which comes from the slightly higher amount of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend. White flower and citrus peel notes are nicely pushed forward. The Semillon is felt in the wine’s mid-palate creaminess and textural depth. A touch of reduction on the finish – typical for this wine – adds freshness. The blend is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon.

The 2017 Cos d'Estournel Blanc shows quite a bit more body and textural intensity than it did from barrel, but to the point of feeling heavy and ponderous. Perhaps I caught it on a bad day. I much preferred the 2017 from barrel, when it showed greater energy and zip.
