Goulée by Cos d'Estournel - Médoc - Red - 2017 :

 

Goulée by Cos d'Estournel: Accessible Luxury from the Médoc

Born from the northernmost gravel slopes of the Médoc and benefiting from the expertise of the famed Château Cos d'Estournel team, GOULEE is a Bordeaux red that delivers on both pedigree and pleasure. It is a modern, flavourful expression of the region, designed to be enjoyed for its upfront fruit, while retaining the structure and elegance expected from a Cos d'Estournel creation.

Expert Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A deep, rich ruby hue.
• Aroma: Enticing aromas of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and black cherry, underscored by a lovely mineral freshness, a touch of pine bark, and hints of cedar box spice.
• Taste: Generous and structured, with a rich core of fruit and wonderfully ripe, fine-grained tannins. The balance between opulence and freshness is superb, culminating in a long, satisfying, and slightly peppery finish.

Serving Suggestions & Food Matching

This wine demands a classic, robust dish. For best results, allow it to breathe for an hour before serving at a cool cellar temperature (16°C).

• Perfect Matches: Stewed Venison with Juniper, Roast Lamb, mature Cheddar or hard cheeses.
• Drinkability: Ready to drink, but possesses the structure to evolve over the next decade.
