His fascination with the East earned him the nickname the Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe, and he crowned the château with golden pagodas, carved elephants and a sculpted door from the palace of the Sultan of Zanzibar. That taste for the exotic still runs through the wines, which have kept a spiced, perfumed richness for two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA rich, structured Cabernet style, a second wine and a white\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Estèphe is the firmest of the Médoc communes, and Cos wears that structure with unusual polish. The grand vin is built around Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, often with a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, giving deep blackcurrant and plum fruit layered with cedar, graphite, tobacco and a warm dusting of spice. It is powerful in youth and ages beautifully. The estate also makes a more approachable second wine, Les Pagodes de Cos, and a dry white, Cos d'Estournel Blanc, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

Grapes are picked parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, often by hand, with rigorous sorting to ensure only pristine fruit makes it into the grand vin.
