Château Couhins Blanc 2022 is a dry white wine from Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux, classified as a Grand Cru Classé de Graves for white wine. This is the estate's main white, built firmly around Sauvignon: 95% Sauvignon Blanc with 5% Sauvignon Gris.
The 2022 vintage is especially interesting because it combines the concentration of a warm growing season with the freshness, tension and saline finish highlighted by the estate. It is also the first vintage released by Château Couhins with official AB organic certification. The white vineyard sits on clay-limestone slopes and a sandy-clay plateau, while 9 months of ageing on the lees in barriques gives the wine added texture.

Chateau Couhins Red 2021

Château Couhins Rood 2021 is the red grand vin of Château Couhins from Pessac-Léognan, on the edge of Bordeaux. The estate has a distinctive position in the region: it is owned by INRAE, the French national research institute for agriculture, food and the environment. That gives Couhins a profile where winegrowing, vineyard research and innovation are closely connected.
The 2021 red is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon clearly shapes the wine's personality, bringing structure, dark fruit and a fresh line through the palate. The grapes come from the estate's 22 hectares of red vineyards, grown on gravel rises and a clay-limestone slope, firmly placing the wine within the Pessac-Léognan tradition.
