Cos d'Estournel 2006

Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Estèphe AOC

Like a solitary adventurer having sailed across the seas, Cos d'Estournel seems at first secret and intriguing. Then it reveals itself, slowly. Step by step, in small touches, he evokes stories of distant cities, of markets with a thousand secrets, of joyful celebrations in villages with hot stones, of women with voluptuous curves.

Cos d'Estournel

In 1791, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel inherited the domains of Cos and Pomys. Going from 14 ha of vines to 45 ha, Cos d'Estournel is recognized by the trade and becomes a Second Cru Classé du Médoc. In 2000, the estate was bought by the entrepreneur Michel Reybier who consolidated the development of the property.
