3153, Château Couhins-Lurton Pessac-Léognan Cuvée Acte II 2023 White

Château Couhins-Lurton Cuvée Acte II 2023 is an elegant white Pessac-Léognan from one of Bordeaux’s lesser-known Cru Classés. Made in the smallest family-owned estate within the Lurton dynasty—and reportedly the smallest Cru Classé in the region—it combines expressive fruit, mineral character and remarkable freshness.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a bright, pale-yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its expressive nose opens with enticing aromas of exotic fruit and white-fleshed fruit, creating an immediately inviting impression. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generously textured, while a lively freshness keeps the wine poised and balanced. The interplay between richness and freshness is particularly striking, making the 2023 enjoyable now while offering the structure to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
Château Couhins-Lurton is rooted in a distinctive clay-limestone terroir, a soil profile that contributes mineral expression and precision to its Sauvignon Blanc-based white wines. The available information does not specify the exact harvesting method or vinification techniques for the 2023 Cuvée Acte II, but the wine’s profile reflects a careful approach focused on preserving aromatic intensity, freshness and the character of its appellation.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. It is a natural partner for fish ceviche, asparagus risotto, chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce and fresh goat’s cheese. Decanting is generally unnecessary for this youthful white wine, although a short period in a carafe—or simply allowing it to open in the glass—can reveal more of its exotic fruit and mineral nuances.

Producer
Château Couhins-Lurton is a small, family-owned estate within the Lurton wine dynasty and a notable name among the classified wines of Graves. Its unusual clay-limestone soils help produce mineral, refined Sauvignon Blanc wines, while the estate is also associated with fresh, fruit-driven Merlot. Although something of a hidden gem among the region’s Cru Classés, the château is valued for its elegance, meticulous craftsmanship and close connection to its terroir.
