The estate

Located in the Saint-Estephe appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux, Chateau Cos Labory owes its name to the word "caux," meaning “the stony hill,” in reference to its location on the aptly named gravel hill "Cos".

The vineyard

This 18-hectare vineyard is planted in Quaternary gravel soils with remarkable drainage, allowing the vines access to water in the event of water stress.

Winemaking and aging

Harvests by grape varieties, spread over 3 periods. Merlot from 16 to 18 September, Cabernet Sauvignon from 22 to 30 September and Petit Verdot on 23 September. Aging is carried out in barrels, of which 50% are new.

Blend

The 2020 Chateau Cos Labory is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (42%) and Petit Verdot (10%).
