Château Cos d'Estournel 2021

The richness and suave minerality of a Bordeaux dry white wine

The estate

Situated north of the Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel appears in all its glory. Like a true palace of the Maharajah, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel inherited some hectares of vines and built the estate. A passionate adventurer who travelled the world, his taste for the exotic and the East inspired the architecture of Château Cos d'Estournel, truly unique in the Médoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d'Estournel continues to shine bright in the Saint-Estèphe appellation and has joined the lineage of the greatest wines in the world. The wines of the estate are distinguished by their unique style, product of an enduring quest for beauty and excellence.

The vines are planted on two hillsides and a central plateau, where they experience ideal sun exposure and great ventilation.
