Description

chevron-down

The former owner and namesake Louis Gaspard d'Estournel was known as the Maharaja of Saint-Estèphe. He decorated the castle in Indian style, gave grand parties and lived beyond his means. In 1852 he was completely destitute and had to sell his domain. He died a year later. Cos d'Estournel is perhaps the Chateau with the most new and advanced technique for making wine. From the harvest to the maturing of the bottles, everything is carefully monitored and carried out with the greatest care. For example, they have managed to create a vinification process in which the wine is transported without pumps. All actions are carried out by gravity. In 1855, the Chateau obtained the 2nd Grand Cru Classé status

The Cos d'Estournel 2020 is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot. The opaque purple-colored Cos d'Estournel offers a beautifully sweet nose consisting of ripe blackberries, Provencal olives, smoked herbs, toasted bread and liquorice. Rich and powerful, but also elegant and stylish. One of the most beautiful vintages and rewarded with 98+/100 Parker points.

This version is a 1.5 liter magnum - Festive, even tastier and with a longer drinking window.
