The elegance and freshness of a dry white Bordeaux wine
The estate
Located north of the Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, the Château Cos d’Estournel appears majestically. Like a true Maharajah's palace, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel inherited hectares of vines and established the estate. An adventurer and after traveling the world, his taste for exoticism and the Orient earned Château Cos d’Estournel its unique architecture in the Médoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d’Estournel continues to shine in the Saint-Estèphe appellation and joins the ranks of the world's greatest wines, distinguished by its unique style where the quest for beauty and excellence is a constant pursuit.
The vineyard
A reference among the great wines of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel enjoys an exceptional geographical location. Its vineyard is situated on the edge of a plateau, in close proximity to the Gironde estuary. The vineyard thus benefits from a maritime climate while being protected from inclement weather. The vines are planted on two hillsides and a central plateau, enjoying an ideal exposure and good ventilation.
Blend
This dry white Bordeaux wine is the result of a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (74%) and Sémillon (26%).
