De vroegere eigenaar en naamgever Louis Gaspard d’Estournel stond bekend als de Maharadja van Saint-Estèphe. Hij decoreerde het kasteel in Indiase stijl, gaf grote feesten en leefde boven zijn stand. In 1852 was hij volledig berooid en moest hij zijn domein verkopen. Een jaar later stierf hij. Cos d'Estournel is misschien wel het Chateau met de meest nieuwe en geavanceerde techniek voor het maken van wijn. Van de pluk tot aan het rijpen van de flessen, alles wordt nauwkeurig nagegaan en met de grootste zorg uitgevoerd. Zo hebben ze een vinificatieprocess weten te creëren waarin de wijn wordt vervoerd zonder pompen. Alle handelingen worden namelijk middels zwaartekracht verricht.In 1855 heeft het Chateau de 2e Grand Cru Classé status verkregen
De Cos d'Estournel 2020 is samengesteld uit 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot. De ondoorzichtige paars-gekleurde Cos d'Estournel biedt een prachtig zoete neus bestaande uit rijpe zwarte bessen, Provençaalse olijven, gerookte kruiden, geroosterd brood en zoethout. Rijk en machtig, maar ook elegant en stijlvol. Een van de mooiste jaargangen en beloond met 98+/100 parkerpunten.

May 2021 Week 3, The Wine Advocate
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot. The harvest took place September 10–24 with a yield of 39 hectoliters per hectare. The alcohol weighs in at 13.46% with a pH of 3.9 and an IPT (total phenolic index) of 80. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 55% new.
Deep purple-black in color, it pops with explosive scents of ripe red and black currants, black cherry preserves and black raspberries, followed by sparks of violets, wild sage, pencil lead and clove oil, with emerging hints of iron ore and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate has amazing elegance and grace contrasted by jaw-dropping energy, featuring a firm frame of finely grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a whole firework display of mineral nuances. I love the way this Cos d'Estournel shimmies and shines—a unique vintage signature expressed so beautifully at this estate!
“On February 3rd, it was over 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit),” said Dominique Arangoits of Cos d’Estournel. “And also in March. This explained the early bud burst. The precocity is an important point of the vintage. The first part of rain—60 millimeters on May 10th—it was dangerous, for mildew and for the quality of the flowering. We have some vines between 80 and 100 years old; they are very sensitive. Fortunately, the second part of May was dry. Flowering occurred between May 21 and 24. It was like 2005’s flowering conditions—very good! The old vines had a lot of healthy bunches. There were many seeds per berry—this is a good sign. Ripe seeds contribute a different type of tannins, which we like. Afterward, from June 18 to August 12, we had 55 days with almost NO rain! On August 7th, it hit 39 degrees Celsius. We needed water. The vines were starting to suffer.”
Like others in the Médoc, Cos d'Estournel finally received a fair amount of water in mid-August, helping to replenish the vines and see them through to harvest.
“On 10th September, we began to harvest the Merlot at Cos d’Estournel, said Dominique. “We could have waited, but we wanted to keep the freshness. We had days more than 34 degrees Celsius during harvest—it was hot! We finished the Cabernets on 24th September. We were happy with the ripeness and wanted to finish before the rains that arrived at the end of September. We have a higher pH this year—3.9 as opposed to 3.75. The lower alcohol makes a good balance. So, the wines seem more fresh.”

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel is a wine of extreme elegance. Silky and light on its feet, the 2020 is incredibly nuanced. In fact it is without question the most finessed of all the top wines in Saint-Estèphe, showing more in common with some of its neighbors in the north of Pauillac than the more potent wines of Saint-Estèphe. Impossibly soft, silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red fruit, spice and orange zest. The 2020 is not a huge Cos, but rather a wine for readers who appreciate elegance over power. I can't wait to see how it ages. Magnificent.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel, which was bottled in July, has lost some of the exoticism that it showed out of barrel. Within five minutes of aeration it develops a complex bouquet: black fruit laced with graphite and subtle cedar aromas, a charcoal back-note and later pressed iris flowers. I foresee this gaining more nuance with bottle age. The palate is taut, lean and precise. Lightly spiced on the entry, with finely-chiseled tannins, again, not quite as precocious as it showed in barrel, allowing the terroir to come through more. There is something almost understated about this vintage vis-à-vis others, razor-sharp precision with just the right amount of salinity on the finish. This is a classy offering that will mature beautifully in bottle. A keeper.
