Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe reds and white Sauvignon Blanc from the northern Médoc.

Cos d'Estournel sits in Saint-Estèphe, the northernmost appellation of the Médoc, where gravelly soils and a maritime climate shape wines of structure and depth. The winery produces Cos 100, a Merlot that has drawn attention from Falstaff, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. Pagodes de Cos, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, reflects the region's classical approach to Bordeaux winemaking—layered tannins and aging potential. The portfolio also includes Pagodes de Cos Blanc, a Sauvignon Blanc that departs from the red-wine tradition of the Left Bank. Saint-Estèphe itself favors power and earthiness over the polish of Pauillac or Margaux; wines here tend toward darker fruit, mineral notes, and the kind of backbone that rewards patience. Cos d'Estournel's offerings span both the region's signature reds and a white expression, anchoring the winery within Médoc's broader stylistic range.
