Bettane & Desseauve
4-star rated estate (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The vat room, as spectacular in its own right as the château's pagodas, equipped with vat lifts that allow gravity to be used not only during vinification but also during aging, was used for the first time in 2008. It crowns the estate's considerable efforts to bring this wine to the highest possible level, with the ambition of rivaling the quality of the premier cru classés. The deep gravel soil generally makes it the most full-bodied of the Médoc wines, the most voluptuous in texture, while retaining a finesse and complexity characteristic of its proximity to Lafite. The latest vintages have gained even more in aromatic purity and sincerity of expression. A very aromatic and intense white Bordeaux is produced on the soils of La Goulée, a little further north, and bears the same name.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2018 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)
Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
It has a deep garnet purple color and opens with youthful notes of crushed red and black plums, cherries, and blackberries with hints of chocolate mint and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with lots of juicy red and black fruits, framed by supple tannins and ending with a minty note.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2019 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
Admirable for its richness and frankness, with a very crisp fruitiness, the 2016 vintage is now the benchmark for the estate.
About the estate:
Businessman Michel Reybier, who acquired the estate in 2000, has invested heavily in providing Cos d'Estournel with everything it needs to produce the finest wine possible. The construction of one of the world's most advanced wine cellars, designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, is a prime example of this. Cos has always produced expressive wines with a rather exuberant style. In the early 2000s, it even veered into caricature at times, overshadowing the finesse that the terroir is capable of expressing. Things have now changed, and with its latest vintages, Cos has rediscovered an expression that once again appeals to us.

About wine:
Deep, dark, rich fruit, from plums to berries. Full-bodied, layered, dense, and very rich. Will be better after 2022.
