Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Gris 2020

This is really nice. Nose shows lots of ripe, perfumey Sauvignon fruit (I see that @Pinotman /// Andreas says guava, and that’s spot on), a bit of melted better and lanolin. In the mouth, it’s concentrated and soft, but the combination of decent acids and a mineral streak makes the balance quite nice. Lengthy finish. Yum.

BTW, something glitchy going on with
@Delectable Wine software yet again: it’s taking over 24 hours for my wines to be posted. They’re showing up on my page but not being published.

@Tom Casagrande, what you said above about the @Delectable Wine glitch is my experience as well, more like 12-16 hour delays on my posts.

Château Coucheroy Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Château Coucheroy Blanc 2019
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc crafted by the esteemed Vignobles André Lurton family at Château Coucheroy. Located in Pessac-Léognan, this estate combines noble Bordeaux heritage with modern elegance. The wine’s name—rooted in legend of King Henri IV’s visit—underscores its timeless appeal.  

Aromas & Flavors
Pale yellow with green highlights, the nose is bright and vibrant with notes of lemon, citrus, and floral undertones. The palate mirrors this freshness with lime zest, delicate white florals, and a subtle saline touch that adds harmony.  

Mouthfeel
Refreshing and balanced, this wine is well-rounded yet crisp. Its texture is smooth and approachable, finishing with a clean, lingering mineral accent. 

Winemaking Notes
Vinification blends complexity and purity: partially fermented and aged in oak barrels for structure, and part in temperature-controlled stainless steel for freshness. Lees aging enhances depth without overpowering natural vibrancy.  

Food Pairing
Perfect with bright, lightly seasoned seafood: think green asparagus flans, grilled langoustines, or classic Saltimbocca alla Romana. 

Verdict
Château Coucheroy Blanc 2019 is a beautifully crafted expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Graves. It pairs refreshing acidity and mineral clarity with elegant texture—making for both a delightful aperitivo and a refined pairing wine. Its appeal lasts across meals and moments. Cheers!

Château Dauzac Grand Cru Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Out of a half bottle. Took a bit of time to open. Black fruit. Not much acid or tannin. Very approachable for a young Margaux.but lacks complexity. At this stage. — 8 years ago

La Dame de Couhins Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Bordeaux tour #3: this one is pretty great too. Round, and really well done but with more depth than #2. Good amount of red berries vs darker tanins. Had it on a tuna steak at a low temperature. — 5 years ago

Light and fruity, with melon and citrus notes and well balanced acidity and minerality. Lovely finish, great with lighter fare or just sipping on the patio. — 8 years ago

Labastide Dauzac Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Wow. Beautiful. Totally disagree with the ratings here....much better, much higher quality wine. Earthy. Dark, luscious. The nose is strong and over powering at times, but the taste and finish are elegant, smooth and sexy. Just awesome! — 9 years ago
