Chateau Cos d'Estournel Description
In a constant quest for excellence, these vines have been for several years now replanted, grafted and their soils ploughed mechanically in order to obtain grapes of the utmost quality.
A fresh climated, combined with the natural ventilation brought by the nearby ocean, allow for the creation of lively and generous wines, born out of a blend of a majority of Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vineyard, situated in the northern Médoc, saw more extreme weather conditions and less rain than Cos d’Estournel. Fortunately, it was able to
compensate for climatic conditions thanks to the age of its vines and their roots, which forever dig deeper from one year to the next, light ploughing efforts—carried out more intensely than usual—and the fresh air brought by the nearby Gironde Estuary.
The 2019 vintage of G d’Estournel delivers vivacity and balance; it is at once fresh and rich, vigorous and discreet. Vibrant and highly spirited, with unmistakable notes of pepper, it is a long, silky wine, whose nose of blackcurrant and violet is highlighted by aromas of eucalyptus, thyme and rosemary.
