G D' Estournel 3eme Vin Château Cos D'estournel Médoc, 2022

G d’Estournel is the third wine of the renowned Château Cos d’Estournel, offering a polished introduction to one of Saint-Estèphe’s most celebrated estates. Crafted with the same attention to detail as the château’s flagship wines, it delivers the character of Bordeaux with a more approachable, earlier-drinking style. As part of the broader history of Cos d’Estournel, it carries the legacy of a property long admired for its individuality and excellence.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby color with a youthful, vibrant edge. The nose is expected to offer classic Bordeaux notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum, and a touch of cedar, with subtle spice and earthy nuance from the Médoc terroir. On the palate, it is generally medium to full-bodied with ripe dark fruit, fine tannins, and a fresh, structured finish that makes it enjoyable now while still allowing for short- to mid-term cellaring. The 2022 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as impressive and concentrated, so this wine should have both generosity and energy. While it is designed to be more accessible than the estate’s grand vin, it can still develop added complexity over the next several years if stored properly.

Production
Produced in Bordeaux’s Médoc area under the guidance of Château Cos d’Estournel, G d’Estournel benefits from the estate’s gravelly soils and maritime-influenced climate, both of which support freshness and aromatic precision. The grapes are typically harvested with close attention to ripeness, then vinified with the aim of preserving fruit purity, structure, and balance. As the third wine, it is made to reflect the estate style in a more immediate, fruit-forward expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with roast chicken, duck breast, grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and semi-hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if drinking it young to help the aromas open up and the tannins soften.

Producer
Château Cos d’Estournel is one of the most respected estates in Saint-Estèphe, with a history dating back to the early 19th century. Known for its distinctive neo-oriental architecture and bold, expressive wines, the estate has earned a strong reputation for quality and innovation in Bordeaux. G d’Estournel extends that legacy by offering a more accessible interpretation of the château’s style while still reflecting its prestige and savoir-faire.
