Chateau Courbin Heritage, Graves, 2023
Brothers Franck and Stéphane Courbin farm this 16 ha estate, equally divided between white and red, in Budos, a village about 45km south of Bordeaux within the Graves appellation. This is their best white, a blend of 85% Semillon with 15% Sauvignon Blanc, with a proportion of the blend aged in oak for four months to add some weight and complexity. It is a very serious wine for the price with stone fruit, cream and orange zest notes. Brill with brill as my fishmonger likes to say. Now-2026
