"A hidden gem of the vintage, with an assertive character. Charming and delicious! ~ Jeb Dunnuck "

"A deep, heady nose, fragrant and vibrant, very expressive with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, blackcurrant and flowers. Unctuous and succulent, juicy, lively and expressive on the palate, a beautiful fruity purity with creamy notes as well as chalky and saline hints. Clean and clear, purified by freshness and hints of blueberry. Well-balanced, with a long, crisp, almost mellow finish. Convivial, accessible and very pleasant to drink. Lots of personality. (Decanter 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

4-star rated estates (top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

The vat room, as spectacular in its kind as the pagodas of the château, equipped with vat elevators allowing gravity-fed operation not only during vinification but also during ageing, was used for the first time in 2008. It crowns the estate's considerable efforts to bring this cru to the highest possible level, with the ambition of rivaling the premier crus classés in quality. The deep gravelly soil generally makes it the fullest-bodied of the Médoc wines, the most voluptuous in texture, yet retaining a finesse and complexity characteristic of its neighborhood with Lafite. Recent vintages have further enhanced its aromatic purity and sincerity of expression. A highly aromatic and intense white Bordeaux is produced on the soils of La Goulée, a little further north, and bears its name.

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).

About the domain :

Businessman Michel Reybier, who acquired the estate in 2000, has devoted considerable resources to ensuring that Cos d'Estournel has everything it needs to make the finest possible wine. The construction of one of the world's most efficient wineries, by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, is a case in point. Cos has always produced expressive wines with a rather exuberant style. In the early 2000s, it even sometimes tipped over into caricature, overshadowing the finesse that the terroir is capable of expressing. Things are turning around, however, and with recent vintages Cos has rediscovered an expression that once again appeals to us.

About the wine:

Inviting fruity intensity with scents of dark berries, mint and licorice. Slightly creamy on the attack, the wine's compact, somewhat smooth tannins ensure vigor and freshness. A delicious, powerful and elegant wine that can be enjoyed young. 2026-2037
