“A hidden gem of the vintage, with a bold character. Charming and delicious! ~ Jeb Dunnuck”

“A deep, heady nose—fragrant and vibrant, highly expressive—with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, blackcurrant, and flowers. Smooth and succulent, juicy, lively, and expressive on the palate, with beautiful fruity purity, creamy notes, and hints of chalk and salt. Clean and crisp, refined by freshness and hints of blueberry. Well-balanced with a lovely, lingering finish—crisp, almost velvety. Approachable, accessible, and very enjoyable to drink. Lots of personality.” (Decanter 2023) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

4-Star Rated Estate (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The vinification facility, as spectacular in its own right as the château’s pagodas, is equipped with tank lifts that allow for gravity-fed processing—not only during winemaking but also during aging—and was first put into use in 2008. It represents the culmination of the estate’s considerable efforts to elevate this wine to the highest possible level, with the ambition of rivaling the First Growths in quality. The deep gravel soil generally makes it the fullest-bodied of the Médoc wines, the most voluptuous in texture, while retaining the finesse and complexity characteristic of its proximity to Lafite. Recent 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 its name.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Businessman Michel Reybier, who acquired the estate in 2000, invested heavily to equip Cos d’Estournel with everything needed to produce the finest wine possible. The construction of one of the world’s most advanced wineries, 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 occasionally veered into caricature, pushing the finesse that the terroir is capable of expressing into the background. The tide has turned, and with the latest vintages, Cos has regained an expression that once again captivates us.

About the wine:

An invitingly fruity intensity with aromas of black berries, mint, and licorice. Slightly creamy on the palate, the wine features firm yet somewhat smooth tannins that lend it vigor and freshness. A rich, powerful, and elegant wine that can be enjoyed while still young. 2026–2037
