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.

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.
Adorned with an elegant ruby color with dark red highlights, the wine opens with a powerful initial nose of fresh strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants. Hints of vanilla, mocha and smoke arrive in Second plan, adding depth to this delicate blend. On the palate, the wine is both powerful and full-bodied, with firm but well-integrated tannins. A lovely woodiness supports the greediness of the fruit. A subtle tension is felt from mid-palate to the finish giving a sensation of freshness that lingers for long Second.
