Château Cos D'Estournel 2021 - 2nd Cru Class

Today, the 100 hectares of Cos d'Estournel are composed of a mosaic of a multitude of parcels. Two-thirds of the vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest with Merlot, and a small proportion with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

With an average age of 45 years, the Cos d'Estournel vineyard contains some very old vines, many between 80 and 100 years old, which represent an incomparable opportunity for the property. These old vines bring depth and structure to the wine and reflect the complexity of the soil from which they draw their deepest elements. The Grand Vin de Cos d'Estournel is made with grapes from vines that are an average of 55 years old.

The estate produces a second wine, Pagodes de Cos.

Since the 2006 vintage, the estate has produced Cos d'Estournel white, a concentrated and fat wine, very typical of Sauvignon, with its notes of lemongrass and grapefruit. And since the 2019 vintage, the property declines its Second wine in white with Pagodes de Cos Blanc.
