The wine in this vintage

Considered one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of recent decades, 2016 combined a rainy spring with a long, dry summer and a balanced September that brought Cabernet Sauvignon to perfect ripeness while preserving freshness and very fine tannins. Cos d'Estournel 2016 received a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker. It is a wine of extraordinary depth: cassis, blueberry, blackberry, violet, graphite, cedar, spice and incense, with a palate that is both powerful and silky, imposing structure and an endless finish. Wine Spectator gave it 96 points. The 2016 is already captivating but still in its early youth: it deserves many years in the cellar to reveal its full potential.

The producer · Château Cos d'Estournel

Recognisable from afar by its Oriental-style pagodas, Château Cos d'Estournel is the great reference point of Saint-Estèphe and one of the most admired Second Growths of the 1855 Classification. The estate was created in 1811 by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, a visionary horse and wine trader who shipped his reds as far as India, hence the exotic charm of its architecture. The vineyards occupy the hill of Cos, a gravel ridge facing Château Lafite Rothschild across the border with Pauillac, and are planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Since 2000 the estate has belonged to Michel Reybier, who invested in a state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery. The Cos d'Estournel style combines the power and structure typical of Saint-Estèphe with aromatic richness and tannic refinement, making it one of the longest-lived and most sought-after wines of the Left Bank.
