Critic reviews
"The 2022 Couhins Blanc, a blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sauvignon Gris, is showing well today, evoking aromas of white fruits, lemon, lemon peel, spring flowers and fennel. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and enrobing, it's fresh and lively with a perfumed mid-palate that segues into a long, mouthwatering finish."
Yohan Castaing, March 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2022 Couhins Blanc is superb, especially in the way it balances its brisk, saline character with notable mid-palate depth. White flowers, citrus peel, white pepper, sage and mint are all beautifully delineated. Intensely saline, mineral undertones support the persistent finish. This is commendable."

"I was blown away by the quality of the 2022 Château Couhins Blanc, and I'd put this beauty up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. A blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sauvignon Gris, it has a vibrant nose of bright citrus, honeyed flowers, chalky minerality, and spice. Tight, focused, and incredibly precise on the palate, it brings considerable richness and concentration while staying clean, light on its feet, and elegant. This is a wow white – bravo to the team here!"

"This majors on exotic fruits, nectarine and peach, with attractive textural elements, notably slate and pumice to balance out the opulence. Alcohols are a little high to retain typicity for a white Bordeaux, certainly as they come across in an abrupt finish. The vintage fingerprint is here, compared to the successful red iin 2022 from this estate."
