The Château Cos d'Estournel estate and its history

Château Cos d'Estournel is located in Saint-Estèphe, in the north of the Médoc. It was founded in 1791 by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, a visionary who expanded the wine estate and provided it with architectural gems such as the pagodas and the Zanzibar Gate. His love for the East is palpable everywhere on the estate. Since 2000, it has been owned by Michel Reybier, who continues to build on the unique character of this winery with respect for the past and a forward-looking view.
