Description

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 classification.

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.

Tasting Notes

Grape Blend: 62% cabernet and 38% merlot

The 2020 Cos d'Estournel is a bold, demonstrative wine, bursting with aromas of cassis, dark berries and plum liqueur mingled with exotic spices, burning embers and petals, framed by a generous application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, broad and low acid/high pH in style, it's rich and extracted, with a layered, mid-palate and a long, clove-inflected finish. Drink 2025 - 2045

Serving Suggestions

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.
