Louis Gaspard d'Estournel—the "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe"—built his estate with an eye toward exotic markets, shipping wine to India as early as 1838 and adorning his chai with pagodas and a door from the Sultan of Zanzibar's palace. The theatricality of the architecture belies the seriousness of the wine: Cos d'Estournel is one of Bordeaux's most consistent "Super Seconds," often rivaling First Growths. The 2000 vintage is a millennium masterpiece across the Left Bank, and this blend of sixty percent Cabernet Sauvignon, thirty-eight percent Merlot, and two percent Cabernet Franc shows why. Opulent sandalwood, Chinese five spice, and cigar box scents frame a core of dark fruit, while wonderfully plush tannins carry a refreshing menthol lift through the finish. Now over twenty-five years old and entering peak drinking, with the structure to continue evolving for another fifteen to twenty years. One of the great Saint-Estèphes.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Give it something with weight and a little spice, in keeping with the wine's own exotic register: rack of lamb with a herb crust, roast squab, or beef in a peppercorn sauce. Truffled potatoes alongside would not be excessive.

Tasting Profile

Opulent and layered, with sandalwood, Chinese five spice and cigar box framing a still-dark core of cassis and plum — twenty-five years in bottle have added leather and cedar without dulling the fruit. Full-bodied with plush, resolved tannins and a menthol lift that keeps the long finish refreshing rather than heavy. Entering its peak now: stand it upright a day ahead, decant an hour off the sediment, and expect another fifteen to twenty years of evolution.
