The estate and the wine |
|
|
A Second Growth in name, but a First in reputation, Château Cos d’Estournel is one of Bordeaux’s true legends. Its Grand Vin is a thing of beauty — bold, powerful, and almost impossible to beat. Grown on deep gravel soils, it’s often the most full-bodied wine in the region, yet it never loses that silky finesse and layered complexity that come from being neighbours with Lafite. |

Hailed as near perfection upon release, the 2019 Saint-Estèphe Red Cos d’Estournel now delivers a brilliant and precise expression of its terroir and signature style. Driven by 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and matured in 55% new oak, this wine displays masterful balance, with a juicy, savoury, and deeply layered profile, crowned by a luminous finish that firmly establishes its status as a benchmark. Its power is beautifully matched by remarkable finesse and sublime freshness, accented by hints of menthol and captivating fruit flavours. Naturally, its ageing potential is immense. Rated 98/100 by the French wine guide RVF and 97+/100 by Parker. |
