Product Description

The 1855 Classification ranked Cos d’Estournel as a second growth, and today it remains a coveted Bordeaux wine. The 2021 vintage boasts a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, achieving optimal ripeness with a modest yield reduced to just 10%. This Grand vin is matured for 18 months in new oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 94-95

The 2021 Cos d’Estournel is very promising, offering up rich aromas of dark berries, plums, exotic spices, loamy soil and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless palate that’s impressively vibrant and concentrated, with powdery tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish. Only 53% of the production made it into the grand vin, and the blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Technical director Dominique Arangoits reports that Cos was spared by frost and coulure at flowering, harvesting between September 23 and October 4, and fermenting a touch hotter than has been the case in recent years, at around 28-29 degrees Celsius.
