Château Couhins-Lurton 2007 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- $55
A pure Sauvignon Blanc, unusual in Pessac-Léognan, which normally also includes Sémillon. This is a purely fresh wine, but with a serious aging potential side to it. For now, the white fruits, currants and pears are delicious, with fresh structure and a touch of wood spice. Screwcap.

Château Couhins-Lurton 2010 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
A complex wine with firm acidity and ripe black currant notes. The fruit is juicy, and the palate finely structured. The small property, owned by André Lurton, is improving with every vintage.

A tight wine, showing racy fruit and an herbal character. Its acidity shoots through the orange zest and grapefruit flavors, leaving a wine that is bright, tangy and ready to drink.

Château Couhins-Lurton 2010 White (Pessac-Léognan)

Since this is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it is intensely crisp, with grapefruit flavors and bright acidity that lead into a lemongrass aftertaste. It’s clean and fresh, and is likely to mature quickly.

Château Couhins-Lurton 2002 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- $32
When Andre Lurton bought Couhins in 1970, he followed a long-established Bordeaux tradition and added his name to the name of the property. This is a delicious, grassy wine, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with flavors of pink grapefruit, along with some spice from wood aging. There is firm acidity to the finish.

Château Couhins-Lurton 2004 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
Red wine is new to André Lurton’s property, only since 2002. This third vintage is dominated by new wood that works well, giving a smooth, velvet texture and a modern, polished feel.

Smooth, ripe and immediate, this is a wine that is developing deliciously, but fast. There is a great fresh, juicy character that balances with the ripe, full tannins. Don’t age, just enjoy.

Château Couhins-Lurton 2009 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
There is a farmyard quality to the aromas, but the wine itself shows a finely structured character that offers a linear, herbaceous view. The wine has considerable aging potential, bringing out an enticing citrus character.
