{"title":"Cos D'estournel","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cos d'Estournel is Saint-Estèphe's most flamboyant estate and one of the Left Bank's celebrated super seconds.

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.
