Cos D'estournel 2ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe - Magnum 1,5L, 2023

Cos d’Estournel is one of Saint-Estèphe’s most celebrated estates, offering a bold yet refined expression of Bordeaux in magnum format, ideal for cellaring or special occasions. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, it combines pedigree, complexity, and remarkable longevity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 shows the deep colour expected of a grand Bordeaux, with a dense, polished appearance. The nose is typically layered and precise, revealing dark berries, blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle spice, with the kind of aromatic depth that signals both concentration and balance. On the palate, expect a powerful but beautifully controlled Saint-Estèphe profile: ripe black fruit, fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury, mineral undertone that gives structure and length. The magnum format supports graceful ageing, and this wine should evolve positively for many years, gaining complexity and finesse over time.

Production
Cos d’Estournel is located in Saint-Estèphe on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils over clay and limestone help produce wines with power, freshness, and structure. While detailed vintage-specific vinification information is not provided, wines of this calibre are typically harvested parcel by parcel and vinified with great precision to preserve purity of fruit, terroir expression, and tannic refinement.

Food & Serving
This is a classic match for grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, game birds, or rich mushroom dishes, and it also pairs well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting is recommended if drinking young, especially to open up the bouquet and soften the structure.

Producer
Cos d’Estournel has long been regarded as one of the icons of Saint-Estèphe, founded in the early 19th century and later classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Known for its distinctive style and consistent quality, the estate has played an important role in defining the reputation of the northern Médoc and remains one of Bordeaux’s most admired producers.
