Description
A silky and balanced red wine from Saint-Estèphe
The estate
Located in the north of the Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel majestically appears. Like a true Maharajah's palace, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel inherited hectares of vines and established 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.
The vineyard
A reference among the great wines of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel enjoys an exceptional geographical location. Indeed, its vineyard is located on the edge of a plateau, in close proximity to the Gironde estuary. The vineyard benefits from a maritime climate while being protected from bad weather. The vines are planted on two hillsides and a central plateau, benefiting from an ideal exposure and good ventilation.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (55%)
Merlot (45%).

Tasting
Upon tasting, this vintage initially presented great power and significant oakiness in its youth. Now, its aromas have rounded out and channeled their nervosity. A pleasant, silky, and velvety wine with a magnificently long finish.
