Cos D'estournel 2ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe, 2000

Cos d’Estournel 2000 is a striking Saint-Estèphe from one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive estates, combining the power and structure of the commune with the elegance and exotic character that have made the château famous. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it reflects both the pedigree of the property and the exceptional quality of the 2000 vintage, now entering a superb stage of maturity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet core with mature brick nuances at the rim. The bouquet is complex and layered, offering dark blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and hints of spice, leather, and dried flowers as it opens. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and finely structured, with ripe dark fruit framed by firm but polished tannins and a long, savoury finish. The 2000 vintage has the balance and concentration to age beautifully for years, though it is already offering generous complexity and tertiary development for those who enjoy mature Bordeaux.

Production
Cos d’Estournel is located in Saint-Estèphe, where gravelly rises and clay-limestone subsoils help produce wines of depth, freshness, and longevity. The estate is known for careful vineyard selection and traditional Bordeaux winemaking, with grapes harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness and vinified to preserve both concentration and aromatic finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if opening now to allow the aromas to fully unfold and the texture to soften.

Producer
Cos d’Estournel is one of Bordeaux’s most admired names, founded in the early 19th century and recognized as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. The estate has long been celebrated for producing powerful yet refined Saint-Estèphe wines, and it remains a benchmark producer in the Médoc with a reputation for consistency, longevity, and distinctive style.
