Chateau Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estephe 2022

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck                                                                                                   This awesome Saint-Estèphe checks in as a normal blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in 50% new oak. Remarkably concentrated yet with a graceful elegance, it has sensational cassis, graphite, spring flowers, and subtle tobacco-driven aromatics, full-bodied richness, a deeply layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a monumental finish. Hitting 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.79, it's as good a Cos d'Estournel as has ever been made. It actually has ample upfront appeal yet won't hit the early stages of its prime drinking window for another decade, and it will have 50-75 years of overall longevity.

99 Points James Suckling                                                                                                 #87 in Top 100 World Wines Wow! So intense and spicy with nutmeg, cloves, ink and blackberries. Also asphalt, lead pencil and tobacco. Full-bodied, but at the same time, there’s a real balance giving incredible depth and length. The tannins are all there but are polished as well as firm. Superb structure. A neoclassical Cos, one for long-term aging. Perhaps the best ever. A blend of 61% cabernet sauvignon, 37% merlot, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.

The history of Château Cos d'Estournel dates back to the early 19th century when it was founded by Louis Gaspard d'Estournel. D'Estournel was a visionary winemaker who recognized the unique potential of the vineyard's terroir and was known for his innovative winemaking techniques, including the use of new oak barrels and exporting his wines to far-flung destinations like India and China.

After changing hands several times in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Château Cos d'Estournel was acquired by the Merlaut family in 1917. The Merlauts invested in the estate and helped to maintain its reputation for producing high-quality wines, even during difficult times such as the Great Depression and the world wars.

In 1998, Château Cos d'Estournel was purchased by Michel Reybier, a French entrepreneur, who continued to invest in the estate and modernize its winemaking facilities. Under Reybier's ownership, the estate has achieved even greater recognition and has been consistently praised for producing outstanding wines that reflect the unique terroir of Saint-Estèphe.

Today, Château Cos d'Estournel is considered one of the top wineries in Bordeaux and is known for its signature style of powerful, complex, and age-worthy red wines. The estate is committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly winemaking practices, including organic farming and the use of renewable energy sources. The wines of Château Cos d'Estournel are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world, and they continue to be a benchmark for quality in the Bordeaux wine region
