History and location of Château Cos d'Estournel
Château Cos d'Estournel is located in the northern part of the Médoc, in the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The estate was founded by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, who inherited the first vineyards in 1791. His love of the East and his adventurous spirit are reflected in the striking architecture of the château, including the famous pagodas and the Zanzibar Gate. Since 2000, the estate has been owned by Michel Reybier, who continues the philosophy of innovation and terroir preservation.
Region and climate of Saint-Estèphe
Cos d'Estournel is strategically located on the edge of the plateau near the Gironde. The estate benefits from a maritime climate and natural ventilation, while being well protected from extreme weather conditions. The vineyards are located on a hilly terrain with deep gravel and clay soils. This unique combination contributes to a complex and powerful wine style.
Types of wines from Château Cos d'Estournel
Château Cos d'Estournel produces mainly top quality red wines, including the grand vin Cos d'Estournel and second wines such as Pagodes de Cos. These wines are known for their elegance, aromatic complexity and long aging potential.
Composition of 2024 Château Cos d'Estournel
The 2024 vintage is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot. This blend reflects the power of Cabernet with the velvety richness of Merlot. The grapes come from vines that are on average 55 years old, which ensures concentrated aromas and structure.
Harvest, fermentation and maturation of the 2024 vintage
The early ripening terroirs and the southern exposure of parts of the vineyard allowed for a precise and balanced harvest in 2024. After the manual harvest, careful fermentation followed with modern techniques that preserve the expression of the terroir. The wine was then aged in oak barrels, which contributed to its complexity and long finish.
Tasting notes: colour, aroma and flavour
The 2024 Cos d'Estournel has a deep ruby red color. In the nose, intense aromas of liquorice, raspberry, cassis, plums and floral notes such as iris are recognizable. In the mouth, the wine offers a powerful attack and a rich mid-palate. The structure is firm and elegant with a velvety texture and a refined, long-lasting finish.

The 2024 Cos d'Estournel is shaping up beautifully. Offering up aromas of sweet cassis, plums, pencil shavings and iris, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, reflecting this estate's pivot to a more harmonious, less aggressively extracted style. With a layered, seamless core of fruit framed by plenty of sweet, powdery tannin, it's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot that checks in at 12.7% alcohol. Cos is an early-ripening terroir, and that clearly played to the relative strengths of the vintage. Harvest here began with the estate's old-vine Merlot on gravel on September 23, concluding with the last Cabernet Sauvignon on October 7.

There is huge depth and lots of intensity from this year's Cos. Quite powerful, deeply colored and dense, but there is freshness. Concentrated and tight-grained, with a full body and a pretty lengthy finish. Quite unique for its broadness and density, with lots of blackberries in the finish.

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Cos d'Estournel could very well be one of the wines of the vintage. Bright and vibrant in the glass, with tons of energy, the 2024 impresses with its vertical structure, depth and overall balance. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, lavender and mocha are beautifully delineated throughout. The 2024 is super-classic. The modest 12.8% alcohol is notable, especially because that also means there is less extraction of wood. Cos is one of my early favorites in 2024.
