Château de la Coste 2016

Margaux|Red wine

3.7/5 (10 customers)

Château de la Coste is the second wine of Château Paveil de Luze, one of the oldest estates in the Médoc and a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel of Margaux. The name "Coste" refers to the hillside (known as a "croupe" in Médoc dialect). This wine comes from a selection of 20% of Paveil de Luze’s production, sourced from 30-year-old vines. It has the advantage of being enjoyable in its youth but is also capable of aging. This 2016 vintage already offers fruitiness, velvety texture, and fullness. A lovely, already accessible wine with great potential—and a real bargain for a Margaux!

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Following in the footsteps of five generations, Baron Frédéric de Luze took over the reins of the family estate in 2004. In 1992, he founded the wine merchant firm LD Vins with his partner Thierry Decre, a company renowned for its distribution of Grand Cru Classés. His untimely death shocked Bordeaux. Since 2010, Stéphane Derenoncourt has served as a consultant. The wines remain elegant, refined, and delicate—in short, quintessentially Margaux. The 2015 vintage marked the return of this lovely estate to the forefront, and the 2016 vintage confirms it!

About the estate:

Dating back to the 17th century, this sprawling château features a rose garden and a 32-hectare vineyard in a single block, situated on the Garonne gravel soils of the Soussans plateau. Baron Alfred de Luze acquired the property in 1862; since 2016, it has been managed by one of his descendants, Marguerite de Luze.
