Château Cos d'Estournel: A St-Estèphe Masterpiece

As a classified Second Growth from 1855, Château Cos d'Estournel stands as a monument to Bordeaux excellence. The estate’s famed Asian pagodas hint at its unique style-a wine of great power and exotic spice, often referred to as a ‘Super Second’ for its quality that rivals the First Growths. It is a quintessential collectible for any serious cellar.

Sommelier's Tasting Notes

The blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, thrives on the gravel and clay-limestone soils, yielding a wine of immense depth and longevity.

• Aroma: Rich and deep, revealing layers of dark cherry, blackcurrant, sandalwood, cedar, and a notable, seductive hint of Oriental spice.
• Taste: Full-bodied and authoritative. The texture is luxurious, with velvety yet substantial tannins that provide exceptional grip and length. The concentration of fruit is balanced by a remarkable freshness, leading to a long, complex finish. This wine is built to last.

Serving Suggestions & Food Pairings

A classic wine demands classic pairings. Decant for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the complex aromas and tannins to soften and integrate. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to a celebratory meal.

• Serving Temp: 16-18°C.
• Pairing: The ideal partner for a traditional Beef Wellington, a perfectly Roasted Venison Loin, or a robust game dish.
