2000 Château Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe

2000 Château Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe

Ref: BORD0012
Red  |  Still  |  13% ABV

Cos (as it is abbreviated) was founded by Louis Gaspard d’Estournel in 1811. Louis was very forward-looking and not only marketed his wines widely around the world, but also bottled, labelled and sold his own wine from the chateau. India was a big market for the wines of Cos, hence the Asian design of the chateau itself. For a period Cos and its neighbour had the same owner - the Chamolue family - before being bought by Fernand Ginestet in the early 20th century. Fernand's grandchildren (having the surname Prats) were running the estate in the '90s when it was sold to the Merlaut family of the Taillan group: a short tenure, as they sold it on two years later to Michel Reybier. The winery has since been completely renovated.

Tasting Notes

"Blended of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet in color with a touch of brick and sporting a lot of tertiary evolution on the nose. It leaps from the glass with opulent sandalwood, Chinese five spice, cigar box and leather scents over a core of prunes, baked cherries, dried mulberries and eucalyptus plus a touch of potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with fragrant fruitcake and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a refreshing line, finishing with an exhilarating menthol lift." Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
