  Jane Anson
  "Extremely successful, has grip and character and depth, white peach and pear, tons of slate, this is delicious, one of the white wines of the vintage (one of the few where there feels no need to excuse the heat), everything is so well integrated. Great stuff from Jacques Lurton and the team."

  Vinum
  "Was für ein Duft, eine Droge, klare Frucht, viel Tiefgang, Zitrusfrüchte, Röstnoten, weiße Blüten, Honigmelone; satter Gaumen, opulent, cremige Textur, hochelegant, federleicht schwebend, Energie, Würze, Rasse, Länge, sehr salzig im Abgang. Umwerfend schön."

  Decanter
  "Great aromatics, lively and expressive on the nose. Fun, forward and bright on the palate, sharp and tense, tangy and racy, I really like this expression, crisp green apple, chamomile, pear and peach. Feels clean and well worked, crystalline with purity and focus. Not as weighty as some, but an excellent, streamlined, focused and quite linear style with supreme bite and tang. Really very drinkable and a success in 2022 with a lifted and long finish. Harvest 25 August-8 September. Yield of 17hl/ha. Ageing for 15 months, 12 months in barrel."

  James Suckling
  "This flavorful, layered white has flavors of white grapefruit, guavas, salted almonds and nougat. It’s medium- to full-bodied, long and concentrated, with spice and nut complexity to the tropical fruit. Drink or hold."

  Weinwisser
  "This has a lot to offer, with juicy acidity carrying a delicious set of white peach, lemon peel, quinine and verbena notes. A subtle sel gris note adds spine and tension on the finish. Drink now through 2032. 300 cases made, 50 cases imported."

  "The 2022 Couhins-Lurton Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with a yield of only 17 hl/ha due to frosts. It prances out with gregarious notes of white peaches, fresh pineapple, and lime blossoms with hints of sea spray and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate delivers intense flavors of fresh peaches and citrus fruit with a lively backbone and long, chalky finish."

  Falstaff
  "Helles Strohgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Frische Limettenzesten, weiße Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Mandarinen, mineralischer Touch. Saftig, straff, weiße Apfelfrucht, lebendig strukturiert, zarte Süße im Abgang, bleibt haften, salzig und animierend, gutes Reifepotenzial."
