CH COUHINS B15

Château Couhins (“Confins” or “Border” in old Gascon) takes its name from its geographical position on the border of the old Comté d’Ornon, marked by a stream called the Eau Blanche. Until the seventeenth century the châteaus of Couhins and Carbonnieux were part of the same estate. Their wine-production probably dates back to ancient times, like many of the large vineyards on the edge of the city of Bordeaux.The wine is brilliant with the very attractive pale yellow color and very refined delicate nose with citrus overtones including the subtle aromas of spice and white flowers. It starts out very fresh and delicate on the palate as well with great complexity, pleasant fruitiness (citrus, quince) and mineral notes.
