It was founded in 1791 by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, a visionary who expanded the wine estate and adorned it with architectural gems such as the pagodas and the Zanzibar Gate. His love for the East is palpable throughout the estate. Since 2000, it has been owned by Michel Reybier, who continues to build upon the unique character of this winery with respect for the past and a forward-looking perspective.

A full-bodied white that’s 60% sauvignon blanc and 40% semillon. Very bright acidity with creamy wood influence. Intense kiwis, green stone fruit and guavas. Long, intense, textured and so vibrant, with a lasting, mouthwatering finish.

From: Event Horizon: Bordeaux 2024 Primeur (May 2025)
The 2024 Cos d'Estournel Blanc has more delineation and tension than the Pagodes on the nose. It's more citrus-driven with touches of yuzu and lime. The palate is fresh and bright on the entry, with a keen line of acidity and an intense lemon peel- and orange zest-tinged finish. This is a very fine Cos d'Estournel Blanc that will be difficult to resist in its youth.
- By Neal Martin on April 2025
Dominique Arangoïts has been at the helm of Cos d’Estournel since 2000, overseeing a change in approach and some of the greatest vintages in recent years. The rather bombastic wines of the noughties have been replaced by more refined and precise wines that culminated in the exceptional 2016. I made two visits to the estate at the beginning and end of my trip, and, as with Montrose, the second assessment was superior to the first.
“We started the season with a lot of rain—a record since the 2000 vintage,” Arangoïts explains. “This rain, combined with the cold, continued until the beginning of July. We had to fight against the mildew and coulure disturbed flowering for both Cabernet and Merlot, plus millerandage appeared in the old Merlot vines. Consequently, bunches were less compact, which improved sanitary conditions. The weather became dry from July 13 to August 29. We had 47 days with only 11 mm of rain and the vines had sufficient stress to ripen the tannins. Then, there was a rainy period until September 12, 53 mm, which meant we could avoid any blockage. We waited until we could achieve the correct ripeness levels and started picking the old Merlot on September 23. In 2024, we found that our gravel soils tended to produce more precocious fruit that was important in the final blend. We finished with around 30 hl/ha [a lower figure], which tided us over through the late ripening. The low level of nitrogen in the must, a result of the cold early season and more grass grown between vines than usual, ultimately proved helpful in avoiding botrytis. We had to chaptalize some of the Cabernets but we did not do any saignée because of the old vines.”

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Cos d'Estournel Blanc is one of the best editions of this wine I can remember tasting. Rich and ample, the 2024 possesses notable textural richness but also a good bit of moderating vibrancy. The balance here is simply superb. Lemon confit, almond, white flowers and chalk build into the layered, resonant finish.

Château Cos d'Estournel is a winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. It is also the name of the red wine produced by this property. The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
Château Cos d'Estournel produces the eponymous grand vin, the second wine since the 1994 vintage, Les Pagodes de Cos from the estate's younger vines, as well as Château Marbuzet from fruit from nearby plots. The property is adjacent to Château Lafite-Rothschild in the neighboring commune of Pauillac. The name Cos refers to a "mound of pebbles" in the Gascon dialect and the name Cos d'Estournel was given in 1810 by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel.
The estate has changed hands several times throughout its history, beginning in 1852 when it was purchased by English banker Charles Cecil Martyns. In 1869 it was sold to the Spanish Errazu family, only to be sold again 20 years later, in 1889, to the Hostein family from Bordeaux. Through his marriage to Marie-Thérèse Hostein, Louis-Victor Charmolue, who also owned Château Montrose, acquired control of Cos d'Estournel in 1894. In 1917 it was sold to Fernand Ginestet. The chateau has remained in the Ginestet family ever since, becoming part of Domaines Prats in 1970, the combined property of the Ginestet and Prats families, and controlled by Bruno Prats.
In June 2008, it was announced that Michel Reybier, the current owner of Cos d'Estournel, has purchased Napa winery Chateau Montelena. However, in November 2008, this agreement was canceled, the termination of the transaction by Chateau Montelena allegedly due to the fact that Reybier Investments had "been unable to meet its obligations". From an estate of 100 hectares, the vineyard area extends over 70 hectares (170 acres), divided into 30 parcels, mainly composed of the grape varieties 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, with a small cultivation of Cabernet Franc and Petit verdot that seems participate too little in modern production. Annual production is typically 32,000 cases.
