Cos D'estournel 2ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe - Double Magnum 3L, 2023

Cos d’Estournel is one of Saint-Estèphe’s most distinguished estates, offering a powerful yet refined expression of Bordeaux in an impressive 3L double magnum format. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it carries both pedigree and presence, making it a standout choice for collectors and celebratory occasions.

Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage is expected to show the estate’s hallmark combination of deep color, structure, and aromatic complexity. In the glass, it typically presents a dark, concentrated appearance, with layered notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, and exotic spice, often balanced by fresh floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, Cos d’Estournel is known for its dense fruit, firm but polished tannins, and impressive length. The double magnum format should support graceful development over time, making this a wine with excellent aging potential and the ability to evolve for decades under proper cellar conditions.

Production
Situated on the gravelly and clay-rich soils of Saint-Estèphe, Cos d’Estournel benefits from a terroir that encourages both power and freshness. The estate’s vineyards are carefully managed and harvested parcel by parcel, allowing the winemaking team to select fruit at optimal ripeness and preserve precision in the final blend. Vinification is typically carried out with great attention to extraction and balance, followed by élevage in French oak to build structure, complexity, and longevity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as ribeye, lamb shoulder, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or game with rich sauces. It also works well with mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended—especially in youth—to allow the wine to open fully and reveal its aromatic depth.

Producer
Founded in the early 19th century, Cos d’Estournel has become one of Bordeaux’s most iconic châteaux, renowned for its distinctive architecture and unmistakable style. Located just north of Pauillac in Saint-Estèphe, the estate has earned a reputation for producing wines of concentration, elegance, and age-worthiness. Its long-standing status as a Second Growth in the 1855 Classification underlines its historic importance and enduring prestige.
