With its Grand Vin, Château Cos d’Estournel crafts an extraordinary red wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the northern Médoc. The vineyards stretch across gravel and clay soils rich in iron deposits, which define the signature character of the wines of Saint-Estèphe. The maritime climate ensures even ripening of the grapes and allows for an extended growing season that fosters intense aromatics, refined structure, and superb tannin development.

The blend consists predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and small proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes are meticulously harvested by hand and vinified following rigorous selection. Maturation takes place in French oak barriques, a proportion of which are new to impart density, structure, and an elegant oak note, while the remainder are seasoned barrels that preserve pure fruit and mineral freshness.

In the glass, Château Cos d’Estournel 2024 displays an intense ruby red with violet reflections. The nose opens with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, and dark cherries, complemented by nuances of cedarwood, cocoa, tobacco, and fine spices. On the palate, the wine unfolds with impressive density and structure, carried by velvety tannins and a vibrant, elegant acidity. The fruit remains fresh, while mineral notes and a hint of smoke add depth and complexity.

The finish is long, precise, and harmonious, with clearly defined fruit and mineral notes that underscore the unmistakable style of Cos d’Estournel. Château Cos d’Estournel 2024 possesses tremendous ageing potential, allowing it to evolve over decades and gain even further complexity and elegance.
