This estate makes a brilliant white, and their 2020 Château Couhins Blanc is pure gold, offering a bright citrus and lemon zest core as well as lots of white flowers and honeyed mineral-like nuances. Medium-bodied, bright, racy, yet also concentrated, it's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

Freshly shelled peas on the nose with green apple aromas. Zingy and full of life straight away, vibrant yet so well controlled. A beautiful glass of wine with excellent acidity, weight and texture. It has a lovely salty, iodine tang to the lemon, lime, orange rind, pineapple, grapefruit pith and green apple. Thrilling and vibrant but clean and crisp. So well worked, focused so give this a year or two for it to settle and expand but this is a great white from 2020. A wine to buy, and more importantly drink and enjoy. (Drink between 2025-2036)

A perfumed nose here, with notes of pears, lemon pith and gooseberries, as well as hints of currant leaf and acacia. Medium-bodied with vivid acidity. Juicy and crunchy with notes of oyster shell and crushed stones. Creamy and lengthy finish. Sauvignon blanc and gris. Drink now.

Because the wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, you find a lot of bright acidity that adds to the blast of green apples, lemons, oranges, grapefruits and yellow plums. Juicy, creamy, fresh and lifted at the end, this is a fabulous, white Bordeaux. Drink from 2023-2035.

The insider's choice among dry white Bordeaux, the 2020 Couhins Blanc unwinds in the glass with aromas of nectarine, mint, white flowers, lemongrass and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate, with racy acids and a chalky, passion fruit-inflected finish. -WK
