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.
Cos d'Estournel is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc - do not be fooled by the relatively high Merlot content, as these are full-bodied, dark, brooding tannic wines when young which develop a complexity and intensity that can rival many top growths from Pauillac.
In 1998 the Prats family sold Cos d'Estournel to The Tailan Group but Jean-Guillaume Prats remains in charge. Cos d'Estournel is classified as a 2ème Cru Classé.

A pure Cabernet nose is impressively supported by minerally cassis fruit, dark chocolate, licorice and lovely ripe tannins. It is one of the very few 2007s with real intensity, a result of late picking and the lowest ... MORE Drink 2012-2027 . BBR Score: 17/20 Jancis Score: 17/20 | ||||

We drank this at our Cos dinner on 20th November 2009, with Jean Guillaume and a host of older vintages. We had 2003 and its the best 2003 I have tried in 3 years and better than at least 2 of the First Growths from that hot year. However as magnificent as his 2003 is the 2005 is on ...

"Fullish colour. Just a little sign of maturity. Ample and classy on the nose. Rich and succulent. Lots of depth. A great deal of class here. Full-bodied, rich, ripe and concentrated. This is lovely. Fine plus." (Clive Coates - The Vine - Oct-2002) | ||||
