Couhins' clear progress, seen in white wine since 2009, is now being felt in red wine. Here, it is not power that is sought but balance, aromatic delicacy and palatability.
The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by A. Galloni "Couhins 2021 is a dark wine. Black cherry, leather, liquorice, mocha and roasted herbs all convey the savoury character of a Cabernet Sauvignon wine from a cold site in a cold year. There's good depth and overall intensity, though some angular contours remain." (February 2024)
