About Ch. Couhins
Château Couhins is located in the municipality of Villenave-d'Ornon within the Pessac-Léognan appellation. It takes its name from the seventeenth century and literally means 'limits' or 'limits'. Under the leadership of Edouard Gasqueton, who also owns the Château Calon-Ségur, this domain was promoted to 'Cru Classé de Graves'.
