Chateau Cos D'Estournel Saint Estephe 2022, 6 x 75cl

Situated on the edge of the plateau near the Gironde estuary, Cos d’Estournel enjoys a remarkable geographic location. The vineyard benefits from a maritime climate and gentle natural ventilation, whilst being sheltered from extreme weather. Comprising a rolling landscape on deep gravel and clay, Cos d’Estournel enjoys an unparalleled situation with two hillsides and a central plateau. This location gives it an incredible variety of terroirs and the exhaustive knowledge of the vineyard makes it possible to determine what every plot has to offer, harness its full potential and bring out its very best.

Tasting Notes:

2022 is a vintage of myriad emotions: the hallmark opulence of Cos d’Estournel is a magnificent counterpoint to the vintage’s diaphanous quality and a freshness that is somewhat unexpected in light of the year’s unusual weather. The wine’s characteristic intensity complements a voluptuous aromatic palette that includes the freshness of graphite and white pepper, the elegance of tea, and sweet notes of licorice, cherry, and blackberry. With an incredibly refined texture that is not without evoking the feel of cashmere, Cos d’Estournel 2022 is an utterly captivating wine with a seemingly endless finish and exceptional aging potential.

Serving Suggestions:

This Saint-Estèphe pairs masterfully with rich, savoury dishes such as herb-crusted venison, slow-braised beef short ribs, or a classic rack of lamb with a garlic and rosemary jus. It also complements earthy dishes like porcini mushroom risotto or aged cheeses like 36-month Mimolette.
