Château Cos d`Estournel is a Deuxième Cru Classé red Bordeaux from Saint-Estèphe. The 2014 vintage is a blend dominated by 65% Merlot, a high proportion for the estate that reflects the specific success of the variety in this cooler growing season. The vineyard’s deep gravelly mounds over a clay base provide the ideal drainage and water retention for the vines to reach full maturity. Winemaking includes the use of gravity-fed cellars to ensure the gentlest possible extraction of the structural tannins. This wine is characterised by its polished texture, showing notes of cassis, graphite and exotic spices with a refined, earthy finish.
