Cos D'estournel 2ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe - Methusalem 6L, 2019

Cos d’Estournel 2019 is a striking Saint-Estèphe from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates, offering the power and precision that have made the château a benchmark for the appellation. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it combines depth, structure, and polish in a way that speaks clearly of its distinguished history and exceptional terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, saturated ruby color with impressive density and clarity. The nose opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, cedar, and fine floral notes, followed by hints of spice, tobacco, and smoky earth that add complexity and lift. On the palate, it is concentrated and layered, with ripe dark fruit framed by firm but refined tannins and a fresh, mineral backbone. The finish is long and persistent, showing excellent balance between richness and restraint. While already impressive, this wine has the structure to age beautifully for many years, developing greater nuance and tertiary complexity over time.

Production
Cos d’Estournel is located on the northern edge of Saint-Estèphe, where gravelly slopes and clay-limestone soils help create wines with both power and elegance. The estate benefits from a varied terroir and meticulous vineyard management, with careful harvesting and parcel-by-parcel vinification to preserve the character of each plot and achieve maximum precision in the final blend.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, game, and richly flavored dishes such as mushroom risotto or braised short ribs. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to fully open and soften.

Producer
Cos d’Estournel is one of the great names of Bordeaux, founded in the early 19th century by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel. Known for its distinctive architecture and bold style, the château has long held a prominent place in Saint-Estèphe and earned international acclaim as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, cementing its reputation as one of the Médoc’s most iconic estates.
