Why shop with us?
Château Cos d'Estournel 1995 is a standout Saint-Estèphe from one of Bordeaux’s most iconic estates, combining power, elegance, and impressive age-worthy structure. Built around Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot adding richness and softness, this is a classic left-bank wine from a vintage celebrated for its balance and depth.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the 1995 shows layers of dark berries, tobacco, warm spice, and subtle toasted notes. With time in bottle, it has gained complexity and refinement, while still retaining the muscular backbone Saint-Estèphe is known for.
On the palate, it is rich and structured, with fine but firm tannins, concentrated black fruit, and a long, persistent finish. The vintage’s combination of ripeness and freshness gives the wine both presence and lift, and it continues to offer development potential for collectors who appreciate mature Bordeaux.
Production
Produced in Saint-Estèphe on Bordeaux’s gravelly, well-drained left-bank soils, Château Cos d'Estournel draws character from a terroir that favors Cabernet Sauvignon and produces wines with depth and longevity. The grapes are carefully selected, and the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is vinified to preserve concentration, structure, and aromatic complexity.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, game, or dishes featuring mushrooms and truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C and, if the bottle is showing mature character, decant gently for about 30–60 minutes to help the aromas open without losing finesse.
