KEEN, POWERFUL, IMPETUOUS

The power of the elements.
Unique in character, Cos d’Estournel Blanc evokes the coolness of sea spray and salty sea winds whipping one’s face while also conjuring the warmth and richness of the land. A generous, lively wine brings to mind a slice of bread spread thickly with quince jam, a sun-drenched stall of autumn fruit or sudden recollections of the sweetest summer moments.

A sublime vintage with notes of floral blossoms, exotic fruit and fresh almond, Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2018 also has a lovely mineral quality. This year the estate’s Sémillon has surpassed itself, and proves a wonderful counterpart to an equally magnificent Sauvignon Blanc, resulting in a wine with exceptional complexity. 2018 marks a new era for Cos d’Estournel Blanc: the balance, freshness and cellaring potential have been taken to the extreme, resulting in a supremely sophisticated, finely crafted wine.

Serving Recommendation
Cos d’Estournel Blanc derives its unique style from the winemaking methods employed at the estate. As it ages it will evolve constantly, revealing different facets of its personality over time. During the first three years after harvest, Cos d’Estournel Blanc offers intense aromas of fruits and flowers. After four or five years of aging, it will develop toasted notes and a lovely roundness, gaining in depth as it reaches the height of its aromatic expression.
Your wines should be opened upon service, without decantation, and kept at a temperature of 12 to 13°C.

Product Description

North of the Medoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe. At the bend of the road are the majestic pagodas of Cos d’Estournel. After the sheer delight, it seeks to penetrate the mystery carefully hidden behind the imposing Zanzibar Gate. The residence of the Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe does not fail to surprise. Here is a real palace, entirely dedicated to wine. This had been desired by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel. Therefore when he inherited a few hectares of vineyards in 1791, he had never ceased to enlarge the estate and to provide it with the best techniques. Convinced of having in his hands an exceptional terroir, this man of taste, adventurer, praised around the world, in India, in particular, from where he brought this penchant for the Orient and exoticism. In the image of his wine, bewitching and elegant, as well as spicy and powerful, he took the chance to be himself in a world so conventional, cultivating his differences and taking up his choices. Property since 2000 of Michel Reybier, Cos d’Estournel pursues its destiny, between audacity and humility. Every decision is a risk-taken, in a visionary philosophy that its founder would not have disowned. Culture divided into plots pushed to its peak, demanding innovation in the winery, a taste for beauty and excellence in a world imbued with unobtrusive elegance, this is the legacy of Louis-Gaspard which its owner today extends. The unique style of Cos d’Estournel, born of a sublime terroir magnified with respect by the passion of men over the centuries, made from his discovery a true journey
