Bettane & Desseauve (2022) 93 - 94 / 100 Decanter (2022) 94 / 100

Such a gorgeous nose, really so aromatic filled with caramel , honey, lemon balm, cream, apricot, honeysuckle and white flowers. Generous, unctuous and driven, this is also quite sharp but in a precise way, it finds the back of the throat and takes aim delivering all the flavour at once in a straight line. I love the intensity, the drive of lemon and fragrant spice also with a wet stone bitterness that lingers. It’s not round or expansive necessarily but so confident, super juicy and mouthwatering. Lots of complexity and detail - a yummy and impressive white. (2024 - 2040)

JM Quarin (2022) 92 / 100

Couleur pâle, aux reflets verts. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur et mûr. Bouche immédiatement délicieuse, offrant un corps fondant, avec du goût, un toucher caressant et beaucoup de saveurs entre le milieu et la finale. Déroulé ascendant. C'est long et très bon.

James Suckling (2022) 97 - 98 / 100

This is layered and serious, with intense yet subtle notes of dried pineapple, lemon, crushed stones and shells. Salty. Long and driven with vivacity and energy. So minerally, in every sense. Grabs hold of you.

Jeff Leve (2022) 94 / 100

Honeysuckle, lemon peel, flowers, marshmallow, banana and a hint of pineapple create the enticing nose. On the palate, the wine is creamy, fresh and fruity, finishing with waves of lemon curd, honeysuckle, orange rind and meringue in the endnotes. (2023 - 2032)

Le Figaro (2022) 93 - 95 / 100

Un nez tout en subtilité au début, aux notes de pomme verte, de clémentine et de pâquerettes, avec une touche de citron bergamote. Crémeux, délectable et persistant en bouche, longiligne mais avec une certaine rondeur, et enfin une longueur savoureuse, saline…

Markus del Monego (2022) 97 / 100

Bright yellow colour with green hue. Expressive nose vibrant fruit, lemon zest, fresh grape fruit, kiwi and a hints of physalis. Excellent character, crispacidity, fine salinity, intense fruit similar to the nose,awinewithfreshness depth and length. Excellent.

Parker (2022) 91 - 93 / 100

Château Cos d'Estournel 2021 Blanc is a terrific effort from holdings in the northern Médoc. Offering up aromas of confit citrus, crisp orchard fruit, lime zest, pastry cream and freshly braked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive, with chalky structuring dry extract and a penetrating finish. There's no question that it's one of the Médoc's most interesting white wines.

Cos blanc mérite aussi l’intérêt des amateurs, c’est l’un des plus accomplis de son histoire.

Vinous (A. Galloni) (2022) 93 - 95 / 100

The 2021 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is fabulous. In fact, the 2021 is one of the finest vintages I can remember tasting. Readers will find a white of tremendous stature and sheer palate presence. Lemon oil, chamomile, pear, baked apple tart and light tropical accents are all amplified in this dramatic, racy white from Cos d'Estournel. I can't wait to taste this in bottle. (2024 - 2031)

Vinous (N. Martin) (2022) 92 - 94 / 100

Château Cos d'Estournel 2021 Blanc has a lovely bouquet of citrus fruit, white peach and hints of peony on a nose that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, vibrant entry, and obviously more concentrated than the Pagodes, with a lively and quite weighty, phenolic finish. This has great potential. (2024 - 2045)

Yves Beck (2022) 91 - 93 / 100

D’entrée la fraîcheur marque le vin au travers de notes de citronnelle suivies d’une touche de nectarines et de noisettes. L’attaque est saline et juteuse. Le vin cumule tension et élégance et affiche un caractère subtil, frais et désaltérant tout en assurant une finale légèrement saline et une belle persistance aromatique. (2023 - 2031)
