    Vibrantly deep in colour, this 2007 opens onto the palate with an attractive sweet core of black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate. Very masculine, yet very polished, it is evident that an obvious amount of care went into its making. This was one of our favourites of the vintage. Drink 2012-2022

  • Neal Martin, June 2017, Score: 90

    Tasted at BI Wine Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Cos d'Estournel has plenty of ripe red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, hints of marmalade and cooked meat developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with cherry liqueur and licorice on the entry; there is good depth and substance here, although the exotic finish does not chime with the vintage and feels out of place. Personally, I would pick the superb 2008 Cos d'Estournel over this. Tasted February 2017. 90/100. Drink 2017-2029

  • Robert Parker, April 2010, Score: 90

    A beautiful wine with 13.4% natural alcohol, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of cassis, incense, charcoal, and subtle oak, round, generously endowed flavors, medium to full body, silky tannin, and surprising depth and length. It can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years. Drink: 2010 - 2025

Château Cos d'Estournel

Resembling an ancient Indian palace, Cos d'Estournel is like no other Bordeaux château. The estate was founded in the early 19th century by Louis Gaspard d'Estournel and the château was built once the vineyards were established as a celebration of his conquests in the Far East.

Resembling an ancient Indian palace, Cos d'Estournel is like no other Bordeaux château. The estate was founded in the early 19th century by Louis Gaspard d'Estournel and the château was built once the vineyards were established as a celebration of his conquests in the Far East. Since 2000, Cos d’Estournel has been in the hands of French hotelier Michel Reybier. Under Reybier’s direction, the château has thrived. In 2007 he commissioned a state-of-the-art wine cellar, the first in Bordeaux to use solely gravity (no pumps). The 91-hectare vineyard is planted to a majority Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot (33%), Cabernet Franc (1%) and Petit Verdot (1%) and produces the Grand Vin Cos d’Estournel and a second wine, Pagodes de Cos.Read less

Region

St Estèphe

St Estèphe is the most northern of Médoc communal crus. Its unique terroir is made up of layers of gravel which are supported by a dense clay base. This subsoil retains water in dry seasons and works particularly well with Merlot, a largely planted variety which is used to flesh out Cabernet Sauvignon. This clay base also creates powerful, textured tannins which enable St Estèphe to stand out from the pack. Like St Julien, it is one of the four most important communal appellations of the Médoc which does not contain any first growths, despite its southern border being a stone'sthrow from Château Lafite. Nonetheless, it is home to some excellent châteaux making fine wines such as Cos d'Estournel, Montrose, Calon Ségur and Lafon Rochet.
