More about this product
Château Cos d'Estournel
Chateau Cos d’Estournel is among the elite guild of producers in Medoc. Their wines are rich, sensual, refined, elegant and age wonderfully. The cellars are unique for both Bordeaux and the world. They operate entirely on the principle of gravity, which makes the process gentle and gentle on the nipples. This improves the purity of the wine and allows it to reveal its special terroir. Cos, translated from Old Gascon, means a hill of small gravel, which is common in the area. Here, however, it has significantly more gravel than clay than all the neighboring vineyards. Last but not least, the architecture of Chateau Cos d’Estournel is just as impressive as its wines. Trips to India inspired Louis Gaspard d’Estournel for its unique design. He founded the manor in 1811 and gave it its name, which it still bears today.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
