Saint-Estèphe - Château Cos d'Estournel "Les Pagodes de Cos" 2001
The estate
Located in the north of Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, the Château Cos d'Estournel appears majestically. Like a true Maharaja's palace, the castle and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel inherited hectares of vines and had the estate built. An adventurer who traveled the world, his taste for exoticism and the East earned Château Cos d’Estournel its unique architecture in Médoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d’Estournel continues to shine in the Saint-Estèphe appellation and joins the lineage of the greatest wines in the world, distinguished by its unique style where the pursuit of beauty and excellence is a constant quest.
Enjoying an exceptional geographical location, the vineyard of Cos d’Estournel is located on the edge of a plateau, in immediate proximity to the estuary of the Gironde. This vineyard in Saint-Estèphe benefits from a maritime climate, being protected from the elements. The vines are planted on two hills and a central plateau, benefiting from ideal exposure and good ventilation.
