The sumptuous rooms of Chateau Cos d’Estournel evoke exotic lands and bygone empires. There is no better analogy to describe Cos 2022 than the architecture of the Chateau itself. Full of intricated lines and oriental nuances, the Grand Vin is coated in an impenetrable tannic structure trapping tons of dark fruit and liquorice. Dense and extracted, this will require considerable time to unfold, and will certainly entice those seeking pure, unrestrained power.
Today we bring you full access from across the Cos d’Estournel stable; with allocations just released and now available of both the red and white Grand Vin and second wine’s alike.
Allocations are extremely limited so please enquire promptly to avoid disappointment.

” The 2022 Cos d’Estournel is stunning. Rich and statuesque in bearing, the 2022 captures all the best this vintage had to offer. A wine of precision and power, the 2022 balances the intensity of the year but without veering into the realm of the exotic, as was the case in vintages such as 2005 and 2009. It marries ripeness and classical rigor in a style that is quite appealing. I imagine the 2022 will need a good 15-20 years to be at its finest. Harvest took place between September 7 and 23, exceptionally early. “

” The 2022 Cos d’Estournel Blanc is gorgeous. Rich and layered, the 2022 deftly balances the natural intensity of the year with notable texture. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint, tangerine oil and white pepper are some of the many notes that emerge over time. More than anything else, it is the wine’s balance that is of note. “

” The 2022 Pagodes d’Estournel is a very sexy wine. Rich, ample and engaging, the 2022 makes a very strong opening impression. Black cherry, plum, licorice, spice and chocolate are front and center. This flashy, radiant Saint-Estèphe is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Firm, chocolatey tannins sustain the finish. “

” The 2022 Pagodes de Cos Blanc is a very pleasant second wine. Citrus, white flowers, sage, mint and almond are very nicely delineated. There’s terrific energy and plenty of drive, with the Sauvignon Blanc very much driving the personality and overall feel. “
