Pessac-Léognan

The 2020 Couhins-Lurton has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It rolls out with intense scents of blackberry preserves, redcurrant jelly, and cassis, followed by suggestions of spice cake, dark chocolate, and tree bark. The full-bodied palate is packed with expressive blackberry and baking spice layers, with a plush texture and a spicy lift on the finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Beautifully creamy and balanced, with blueberry and raspberry fruit, smooth and seductive, relatively approachable although will improve with a few more years in bottle. Has the elegance and confidence of Pessac Leognan, understated and finessed glamour. Jacques Lurton owner and director, his first full vintage since taking over the company.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Bursts with vibrant notes of crushed red currants, kirsch, and raspberries, leading to hints of cracked black pepper and chargrill. The light to medium-bodied palate is lively and soft-textured with delicate red berry flavors and a lifted finish.

Well structured, intense, manages to go both climb upwards and feel rooted downwards. Tannins are present at the front of the mouth, a little chalky, good quality if serious, extremely precise and finessed, with austere architecture that supports spiced damson and blackcurrant fruit.

Velvet red colour, this is intense but not impenetrable, very much working with the vintage, even teasing out austerity and finesse. Good freshness without sacfricing the intensity of the black cherry, damson fruit. The high alcohol can be felt in the rich mid palate mouthfeel, but there are scraping tannins and mouthwatering salinty on the finish. September 8 to October 6, 12 months in 50% new oak. 36hl/h yield.

Enjoyable in bottle, well balanced, finessed with clarity of fruit majoring on blueberry and cassis, with leafy aromatic tomato leaf and salted cracker on the finish. Single point upscore.

The 2019 Couhins-Lurton is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with black and red currant scents, followed by suggestions of Provence herbs, dusty soil, and black pepper. The full-bodied palate is uncomplicated and chewy with a lively line and slightly warm finish.

Enjoyable and full of pleasure, supple texture, this is impressive with intense, concentrated, black chocolate and blackberry fruits. Needs time in the glass, but this is easy to recommend.

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.
