Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 58%, Merlot 34%, Cabernet Franc 4%, Petit Verdot 4%

This, the second wine of Cos d’Estournel, is given the same lavish attention as the grand vin. Some of the fruit now comes from vineyards from the old Ch. Pomys, once part of the old estate, now reunited. The bouquet has a fresh and lifted aroma, cultured and with hallmark St Estèphe spice. The palate is layered; there is a sense of translucency. The commune’s grainy tannins work brilliantly in adding tension and freshness. The wine is not overtly juicy or red fruit-accented; instead, there is a satisfyingly cool mineral edge.

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.

Cos d'Estournel

Château Cos d`Estournel is named after its 19th century owner, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, and it was he who built the bizarre oriental edifice that is a landmark for any tourist in the Médoc. Today Cos d'Estournel is without doubt the leading estate in St-Estéphe. It is located in the south of the appellation on the border with Pauillac and its vineyards are superbly sited on a south-facing gravel ridge with a high clay content, just north of Lafite.
