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

Cos d’Estournel 2022 is a striking Saint-Estèphe that combines the power and polish expected from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it offers exceptional depth, architectural structure, and the kind of refinement that has made the château a reference point on the Left Bank since the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep, saturated ruby-purple color, hinting at concentration and youth. The nose is layered and expressive, with dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle exotic spice, all framed by fine oak nuance. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with dense but finely drawn tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, persistent finish. Expect flavors of cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, tobacco, and mineral notes, with the balance and depth to evolve gracefully over many years. While already compelling in its youth, this is a wine built for cellar aging and should reward patience beautifully.

Production
Cos d’Estournel is sourced from the gravelly, well-drained soils of Saint-Estèphe, where the maritime climate and terroir help shape wines with power, freshness, and strong tannic backbone. The estate’s vineyard practices and vinification are carried out with a focus on precision and parcel selection, allowing each component to express the character of its site. As with top Bordeaux estates, careful harvesting and controlled fermentation are essential to preserving purity, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for rich, savory dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, venison, duck breast, or truffle-inflected mushroom dishes. It also pairs well with hard aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young, to help the wine раскрыte its bouquet and soften the tannins.

Producer
Cos d’Estournel is one of the landmark estates of Saint-Estèphe and a name synonymous with elegance, ambition, and longevity. Classified as a 2ème Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the château has built a global reputation for producing some of the Médoc’s most distinctive wines, admired for their depth, exotic aromatic profile, and age-worthiness. Over generations, it has remained among the most respected and sought-after producers in Bordeaux.
