Ch\u00e2teau Cos d\u2019Estournel is one of Bordeaux\u2019s most recognizable estates. The ch\u00e2teau in Saint-Est\u00e8phe owes its name and distinctive character to Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel, who sought out international markets in the nineteenth century. The pagoda-like architecture and exotic details reflect that trading history and make the estate unique.<\/p>\n
The vineyards are located in the southern part of Saint-Est\u00e8phe, close to the border with Pauillac. Gravelly soils and Cabernet Sauvignon contribute to the wine\u2019s structure. Behind the striking buildings lies an estate that combines tradition with modern techniques in the cellar. The wine is prized for its concentration and aromatic depth.<\/p>\n
The exceptionally warm and dry summer of 2022 resulted in a concentrated harvest. Cos d\u2019Estournel combines ripe dark fruit with firm tannins and a fresh, lively character.<\/p>\n
Black cherries, blackcurrants, cocoa, and oriental spices complement the wine\u2019s rich character. The tannins give the wine structure and allow for further bottle aging. Over time, notes of tobacco, cedar, and earthy nuances may complement the fruit notes. The balance between ripeness and freshness remains key to the overall profile.<\/p>\n
Serve this wine with lamb, roast beef, or a dish with mushrooms. After opening, let it rest in the glass for a moment and taste it before deciding whether decanting is necessary. Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at a stable temperature. An older Bordeaux may develop sediment; if so, stand the bottle upright beforehand and pour carefully.<\/p>\n
