Château Cos d'Estournel

Situated at the south of St Estephe, the vineyards border those of Chateau Lafite. The excellent terroir means that there has always been the potential to produce exceptional wines; this is recognised by its 2nd growth classification in 1855. Now owned by the industrialist Michel Reybier, the chateau boasts one of the most advanced wineries in the Medoc with a building program to rival any of the First Growths, and one suspects this is the estate’s intention; to be perceived alongside the most illustrious names of the Medoc. Following the departure of Jean-Guillaume Prats, Aymeric de Gironde, formally of Pichon Longueville was appointed as General Manager. He has instigated a change in philosophy, with the emphasis on producing wines with freshness, elegance and precision.
