Château Cos d'Estournel

Château Cos d'Estounel is part of Domaines Michel Reybier, in the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region. The Château Cos d'Estounel vineyard today covers 91 hectares. The vines are planted on the thin gravel of the summits and on the southern slopes. Cabernet Sauvignon (60% of the vineyard) finds its ideal soil here. On the eastern slopes and hillsides where the Saint-Estèphe limestone bedrock outcrops, Merlot (40% of the vineyard) excels.

Vinification at Château Cos d'Estounel is adapted to the character of the harvest, giving pride of place to the expression of the Saint-Estèphe terroir. Aging is carried out in new stave-wood oak barrels, which discreetly enhance the wine's aromas and flavors with just the right amount of wood. For connoisseurs of fine wines, Château Cos d'Estournel has become the archetype of a certain style of virile elegance, where power excludes neither grace nor suavity.
