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.

The good news is that Cos is as close to the First Growths as it has ever been. 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

A top class St. Estèphe wine. There is good ripe fruit on the palate with a soft cedary finish. A well-produced wine from what was a difficult vintage.

Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will keep, 13% alc.

Subtle spicy oak and red fruitnose, with round opulent flavours; although slightly closed on the finish, this will surely be a very good wine indeed. The complexity which was so evident from the start is now starting to unravel itself as the wine matures, promising great rewards for the patient.

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 ... MORE
