Chateau Cos d'Estournel, Saint-Estephe
Fine producer of Saint-Estèphe appellation reds
Located on a hill on the banks of the Gironde, the 91-hectares vineyard spreads around the château embellished by the so-called "Maharahaj of Saint-Estèphe". They cultivate a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot.
The stunning château's entrance, with its grand arched gate, stands out as an example of a mixed architectural background. The founder, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, had exotic pagodas erected over his cellar to celebrate his overseas conquests, which included exports to India. The estate has belonged to Michel Reybier since 2000.
They produce Saint-Estèphe appellation reds in the Grand Cru class, as well as Cos d'Estournel white from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes, and a reasonably new Goulée wine falling under the generic Médoc appellation.
