Château Cos Labory

Ideally located at the gateway to the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Cos Labory takes its name from the locality "caux" meaning hill of pebbles coupled with that of its 1820-1840 owner, François Labory. Passing through the hands of various owners, it was finally acquired by the Audoy family in 1971.

The Château Cos Labory will be named Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.

In March 2023, the Château Cos Labory will pass into the hands of Michel Reybier, owner of his famous neighbor Cos d'Estournel. The estate will nevertheless remain independent and continue to produce a wine with its own identity.

The Château Cos Labory is based on 18 hectares of vines, 58% of which are Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

The estate produces a Second wine, Charmes de Cos Labory.

The Château Cos Labory produces wines full of finesse and elegance, which nevertheless do not neglect a fine tannic structure and a well-built structure.

Description Château Cos Labory 2016.

Born under the best auspices of a great year, very sunny, with alternating rain between veraison and harvest.

The bloom was very fine, transparent, with an exceptional quality of flesh.

The color is garnet with some purple reflections.

In the first attack, the bouquet expresses aromas of small black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant followed by fine touches of acacia honey and cedar wood.

The balance in the mouth is very tense with a pleasant acidity and tannins of great finesse, with an elegant, complex finish, and a very beautiful persistence conducive to prolonged aging.

Perfect for long-term aging in the cellar, away from light and noise with an optimum degree of 70% to reach its peak in the years 2024/2026 with a continuity of around ten years.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
