Château Cos d'Estournel

What more recognizable Château in the Saint-Estèphe appellation than Cos d'Estournel with its oriental style and pagodas? An exceptional wine with an identity all its own, and nothing to envy anyone. In 1811, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel acquired several hectares of vines not far from a place called Cos, or "hill of pebbles".

It wasn't long before he was touring the world promoting his wines, even as far away as East India, where they were much appreciated by the maharajas. A reputation that earned him the nickname "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe". Work then began on Château in 1830, offering the famous Far East-inspired architecture, with pagodas and elephant statutes.

His reputation earned him the title of Second Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition. Owned since 2000 by entrepreneur Michel Reybier, numerous technical renovations have been undertaken, with the aim of constantly striving for excellence and precision.

Today, the vineyard covers 100 hectares of vines, an average age of 45 years, two-thirds of which are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. They are used to produce the grand vin and Second vin, Pagodes de Cos. Some plots, however, are planted with white grape varieties, Sémillon and Sauvignon blanc, used to produce Cos d'Estournel blanc and Second vin, les Pagodes de Cos blanc.

Description Château Cos d'Estournel 2023.

"Cos d'Estournel 2023 offers this year a bright, sophisticated nose of black fruit, flowers and spices. Hints of roasting and tobacco add complexity. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied, with controlled power and perfectly integrated, velvety tannins. Rich and well-balanced, it develops highly concentrated blackberry and licorice aromas. The delicate finish will keep us vibrating for many Secondes." - Marie, Oenologist Premium Grands Crus - April 2024

The Terroir of Cos d'Estournel

Located on the edge of the plateau, close to the Gironde estuary, Cos d'Estournel enjoys a privileged geographical position. Benefiting from a maritime climate, the vineyard is sheltered from excessive weather and enjoys gentle natural ventilation. Situated in an undulating area of deep gravel and clay, Cos d'Estournel enjoys incomparable exposure, with two slopes and a central plateau. This position offers an incredible variety of terroirs, whose exhaustive knowledge makes it possible to perfectly represent each parcel, exploiting its full potential to the full.

2023, Sophisticated

The Cos d'Estournel terroir performed very well in 2023. The proximity of the hillside to the marshes counterbalanced the last two late heat waves, which explains the wine's exceptional balance. Velvety tannins, restrained power and an extremely sophisticated finish.
