CH.COS D'ESTOURNEL SAINT-ESTEPHE 2013 750ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Château Cos d'Estournel stands as one of Bordeaux's most distinctive and prestigious estates, located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The château's unique architecture, featuring pagoda-style turrets and ornate details, reflects its historical connection to the Indian trade routes of the 19th century. The estate's story began in 1811 when Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel established the property. His vision extended beyond wine production, as he was one of the first Bordeaux producers to export wine to India and the Far East, earning the nickname "Maharaja of Saint-Estèphe." This international outlook continues to influence the estate's approach today.

TASTING NOTE:

The Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe 2013 presents a deep, rich color in the glass. The nose offers an elegant bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, and subtle hints of spice, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla and oak from its aging in French barrels. On the palate, the wine shows a full-bodied texture with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, particularly blackberry and black cherry, dominate the palate, while subtle hints of tobacco and spice add complexity. The finish is long and elegant, characteristic of the estate's style, with the wine's tannins suggesting it will continue to develop favorably with additional aging.
