Couhins-Lurton
Andre Lurton’s involvement and eventual ownership has been pivotal for this Chateau’s renaissance. The gardens now restored to their 19th century splendour are as lively as the excellent Sauvignon. The estate now also produces some great claret, rekindling its success of 100 years ago.

Brambled hedgerow fruit, orange peel, black tea and blackberries, an attractive wine from this excellent property, but a flash of heat throws the palate out of balance on the finish. André Lurton owner, 40% new oak for ageing.$402.00 -

Tasted at the André Lurton tasting in London. The 2014 Couhins-Lurton Blanc has a fresh, beeswax and yellow flower-scented bouquet, a touch of yellow plum developing with time. The palate is fresh and crisp with impressive depth and a fine bead of acidity. There is a mixture here of white and yellow fruit and an almost sorbet-like freshness on the finish that is very tempting at this early stage, although it will surely age with style. Tasted June 2017.$306.00
