Chateau Cos d'Estournel is one of Saint Estephe's most iconic estates, celebrated for its depth, precision, and remarkable longevity. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, graphite, cedar, cigar box, violet, and exotic spice. The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with velvety tannins, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, or aged Comte for an unforgettable Left Bank Bordeaux experience.
99 Points - James Suckling
Exceptionally aromatic, with vibrant notes of black currants, blackberries and raspberries layered with hints of coffee and nutmeg. The fruit is remarkably pure, complemented by bright spice and freshness. Full-bodied yet reserved, it delivers fantastic structure, precision and remarkable length. A benchmark expression of Château Cos d'Estournel that is built for long-term cellaring.
98 Points - Decanter
A powerful yet refined Cos d'Estournel that benefits from time in the glass to fully reveal its luxurious character. Velvety textures support layers of bitter dark chocolate, black truffle and coffee, while the tannins gradually build to an impressive crescendo. Sophisticated and glamorous, it balances richness with freshness, showcasing the estate's signature style despite the warm growing season.
98 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Beautifully perfumed from the outset, this stylish wine unfolds into concentrated black currant fruit supported by dark, polished tannins. Crafted from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines elegance with firm structure and possesses outstanding long-term aging potential.
97+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Château Cos d'Estournel has turned out brilliantly, revealing aromas of minty cassis, sweet wild berries, wild plums, spices, loamy soil and potpourri. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it is polished and seamless, with a deep core of succulent fruit wrapped in fine, velvety tannins that are already beautifully integrated. Recent refinements in viticulture and winemaking are clearly evident, resulting in a wine of exceptional harmony, purity and finesse. Best after 2027.
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Château Cos d'Estournel Grand Vin is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, aged in 55% new French oak. Elegant and seamless, it offers expressive aromas of red currants, cassis, graphite, lead pencil and chalky minerality. Medium- to full-bodied with supple tannins, outstanding purity and a regal, refined profile, it is a graceful, finesse-driven Saint-Estèphe that already shows charm but will reach its full potential after 7–8 years of cellaring and continue evolving for more than 25 years. Best after 2029.
96 Points - Wine Spectator
Dark, rich and beautifully layered, this wine delivers flavors of black currant, fig and blackberry preserves accented by cast iron, anise, apple wood, sweet bay leaf and warm earth. A long, savory, mineral-driven finish ties everything together with exceptional elegance and persistence. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 onward.
