It is rare that two exceptional vintages are consecutive. That was the case in 2009 and 2010. Fully representative of the style of Cos d’Estournel, 2010 combines precision, elegance and concentration, while never does one of the characteristics take over from the others.“Its deep and dense almost bluish black dress gives it a mysterious look, seeking to be unveiled in order to dazzle us” Dominique
Arangoïts, Technical Director is moved to say. Little by little, the initial discretion of the aromas give their place to a gourmet nose, a tannic frame both serious and full, fruits bursting into an explosive bouquet of an incredible freshness. At the same time powerful and elegant, it reflects the qualities of a great wine, which asks for patience before fully enjoying the complexity.ABV 14.5%Special Price - No Further Discount Applies

North of the Medoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe. At the bend of the road are the majestic pagodas of Cos d’Estournel. After the sheer delight, it seeks to penetrate the mystery carefully hidden behind the imposing Zanzibar Gate. The residence of the Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe does not fail to surprise. Here is a real palace, entirely dedicated to wine. This had been desired by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel. Therefore when he inherited a few hectares of vineyards in 1791, he had never ceased to enlarge the estate and to provide it with the best techniques.
Convinced of having in his hands an exceptional terroir, this man of taste, adventurer, praised around the world, in India, in particular, from where he brought this penchant for the Orient and exoticism. In the image of his wine, bewitching and elegant, as well as spicy and powerful, he took the chance to be himself in a world so conventional, cultivating his differences and taking up his choices.
Property since 2000 of Michel Reybier, Cos d’Estournel pursues its destiny, between audacity and humility. Every decision is a risk-taken, in a visionary philosophy that its founder would not have disowned. Culture divided into plots pushed to its peak, demanding innovation in the winery, a taste for beauty and excellence in a world imbued with unobtrusive elegance, this is the legacy of Louis-Gaspard which its owner today extends. The unique style of Cos d’Estournel, born of a sublime terroir magnified with respect by the passion of men over the centuries, made from
his discovery a true journey.
