Château Cos d’Estournel, a distinguished Second Growth estate in Saint-Estèphe, is celebrated for its bold yet polished wines, crafted from its gravel and clay-limestone soils. Founded in the early 19th century by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel, the estate is known for its distinctive Moorish-style architecture and meticulous approach to winemaking. The 1989 vintage is regarded as one of the finest of the decade for Bordeaux, and Cos d’Estournel’s expression in magnum format offers an impressive level of complexity and longevity. A classic Left Bank blend, this wine showcases a deep core of cassis, black cherry, and graphite, with secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, and truffle emerging with age. The structure is firm yet refined, with beautifully integrated tannins and a long, resonant finish. A benchmark Saint-Estèphe that continues to evolve gracefully.
