Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2000

A balanced, flavorful, and elegant red wine from Saint-Estèphe

The estate

Located in the north of Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel appears majestically. Like a true Maharaja's palace, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel inherited hectares of vines and built the estate. An adventurer who traveled the world, his taste for exoticism and the Orient earned Château Cos d’Estournel its unique architecture in the Médoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d’Estournel continues to shine in the Saint-Estèphe appellation and joins the ranks of the world's greatest wines, distinguished by its unique style where the pursuit of beauty and excellence is a constant quest.
