The appeal here is simple: a Second Growth from Saint-Estèphe with more than forty years in bottle, so somebody else has already done the waiting. Cos d'Estournel was ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 classification. In 1820 its founder, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel, came up with the idea of an Asian-inspired palace at the heart of his vineyard. He built it on a rise known as the "hill of pebbles", and he went as far as India to sell his wine. The palace is the show, but that stony hill is why people still collect the wine. If you've ever wanted to know what a classed-growth Bordeaux from the early 1980s is like without having bought it young and waited four decades, this is your chance.

More about Chateau Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe's exotic showstopper. Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel earned the title 'Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe' through sheer ambition—and the Oriental pagodas still stand as proof. Michel Reybier has transformed it into fully organic excellence. Impossible to ignore.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Serve it with classic, simply cooked dishes that let an older Bordeaux show: rack of lamb with rosemary, roast squab or guinea fowl, côte de boeuf with a bordelaise sauce, or wild mushrooms sautéed in butter. Keep the sauces restrained and skip anything heavily spiced.

Tasting Profile

Expect the profile of a fully mature Saint-Estèphe classed growth: dried red and black fruit giving way to cedar, tobacco, leather, earth and graphite. By now it's typically medium-bodied, with tannins softened to a fine grain, acidity still holding it up and a savoury, dry finish. Think the evolved, earthy side of claret rather than plush young fruit.
