In a few words ...
Château Couhins is owned by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), which bought it in 1968. Located in Villenave d'Ornon, on the outskirts of Bordeaux, and under the management of Dominique Forget, Château Couhins is once again a rising star, and is now on a par with its peers in the Grand Crus Classés de Graves classification. James Suckling ( 91 )
For Sauvignon lovers! Powerful, fresh and long-lasting.

Penetrating nose, very floral, deep, almost heady. Full on the palate, long, powerful, hard to forget. Be sure to taste with three or four friends, so as not to be tempted to finish the bottle.
