Red Blend

On the palate

"Pow! The nose explodes with notes of baked cherries, preserved plums, fried herbs, beef drippings and warm cassis with wafts of wood smoke, salami and tobacco leaf. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and earthy/savory in character, sporting beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note." WA

Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a Grand Cru vineyard located in St. Estephe. Its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Chateau Cos d'Estournel today covers 170 acres separated from Chateau Lafite along the southern edge by the stream between St. Estephe and Pauillac. The gravelly soil over a flint limestone and silicate subsoil low in nitrogen has eroded over centuries to form steep ridges which perfectly drain the vineyards. The vineyards are planted 60 percent in Cabernet Sauvignon vines 2 percent of Cabernet Franc and 38 percent in Merlot. Naturally the percentage of Cabernet or Merlot in the composition of each vintage depends on the climate which favors one grape variety or the other.
