Cos D'estournel 2ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe, 2022

Cos d’Estournel 2022 is a striking Saint-Estèphe that captures the estate’s signature power, polish, and exotic character. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it combines one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated pedigrees with the depth and precision that have made Cos d’Estournel a benchmark for the appellation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep, насыщенный garnet hue with youthful intensity. The nose is usually layered and expressive, with dark cassis, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, often joined by hints of licorice, incense, and earthy complexity. On the palate, expect a structured and concentrated Saint-Estèphe with ripe black fruit, refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, persistent finish. While already impressive for its vibrancy, 2022 is a vintage that should reward patience, with excellent aging potential over the coming decades.

Production
Crafted in the gravelly, clay-limestone soils of Saint-Estèphe, Cos d’Estournel benefits from an estate terroir that naturally lends power, freshness, and structure to the wines. The vineyard is known for meticulous parcel selection and careful harvesting, with vinification designed to preserve fruit purity, finesse, and the layered complexity that defines the château’s style.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for rich dishes such as grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, duck breast, venison, or mushroom-based preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if drinking young to help the wine open and soften its tannins.

Producer
Cos d’Estournel is one of Saint-Estèphe’s most iconic estates, renowned for its distinctive style and the architectural grandeur of its château. Classified as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has long held a place among Bordeaux’s elite producers and is especially admired for wines that combine depth, structure, and an almost exotic aromatic signature.
