Chateau Cos d’Estournel has a long and distinguished history as a Bordeaux wine property in the St. Estephe appellation classified as a 2nd Growth under the 1855 clasification.

Founded by Louis Gaspard d’Estournel in 1811, Cos d’Estournel borders Chateau Lafite and is one of the finest wines of the world. A fundamental symbol, the Estournel Elephant symbolizes Eastern influences on the founder, who shipped his wines to faraway lands 200 years ago. His passion for India earned him the nickname of “Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe.”

Today, this estate is one of the most modern wineries with 84 isothermal, cone-shaped, stainless-steel vats that are unique to Bordeaux.

Grape Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

This is muscular yet so well defined and toned. Full-bodied with deep and dense fruit on the palate, yet powerful and rich at the same time. So much sandalwood and blackberry character. Chewy and rich at the finish. This is a warm and generous wine, but the alcohol is just over 13 degrees. Not that high. Love the finish. Extravagant. Magical. Try from 2025.

The youngest vintages—those produced after 2000—should be decanted at least two hours before tasting. Aeration will help bring the spirit and passion of each wine into focus, so its potential can be fully revealed.. Enjoy with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
