Third wine of Château Cos d'Estournel. Château Cos d'Estournel is a distinguished wine estate situated in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux, France. Known for producing some of the region's finest red wines, it boasts a unique architectural style inspired by the Orient. The estate, classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, covers 91 hectares, predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Château Cos d'Estournel wines are revered for their power, complexity, and longevity, often featuring rich flavors of dark berries, spice, and earthy undertones. This château remains a symbol of innovation and excellence in Bordeaux winemaking.


James Suckling: 92-93/100
A fine and linear tannin structure that gives finesse and focus to the wine. Medium-bodied with fresh and bright fruit and a silky finish. Shows slightly more finesse than in the past. A blend of 64% merlot, 26% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.


Antonio Galloni - Vinous: 91-93/100
The 2023 G d’Estournel is a seriously beautiful wine. Dark, layered and super-expressive, the 2023 has so much to offer. An explosion of red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal, lavender and mocha makes a strong opening impression. This is an especially bold, fruit-forward vintage for the G, perhaps because of the inclusion of recently acquired parcels planted on clay/limestone soils. The 2023 is all about harmony, and there is plenty of that.

Jane Anson: 90/100
A serious G d'Estournel to celebrate its 20th vintage, well balanced, plenty of spice alongside the blueberry fruits. A touch soft through the mid palate, but great freshness and juice. An extra 4ha of vines to G over the past few years, with more clay and limestone, to help keep acidity in increasingly hot summers, taking it to around 25ha of vines. 45hl/h yield, harvet September 13 to October 2, 20% new oak for ageing. In organic conversion.
