Château Couhins-Lurton

Pessac-Léognan reds and whites from Graves' most prestigious appellation.

Château Couhins-Lurton sits in Pessac-Léognan, the historic heart of Graves in Bordeaux. The estate produces both red and white wines rooted in the region's signature varieties. The red cuvée Acte II draws from Merlot, while the white expression showcases Sauvignon Blanc—a pairing that reflects Pessac-Léognan's dual identity as one of Bordeaux's few appellations where whites hold equal standing. The flagship Pessac-Léognan rouge blends Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, anchoring the portfolio in classical Graves structure. Wines from the estate have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, and Wine Advocate, reflecting their place within serious critical discourse. The terroir of Pessac-Léognan—marked by gravel beds and clay—shapes wines of mineral precision and aging potential, characteristics evident across the range.
