A bit of history helps explain the distinct architecture of Château Cos d'Estournel. Louis Gaspard d'Estournel earned the nickname "the Maharajah of Saint Estèphe" because his COS D’ESTOURNEL wine quickly surpassed even the most prestigious crus in price and was exported all the way to India. To celebrate his distant conquests, he adorned his cellars with exotic pagoda-like structures.

The wine has a deep purple robe. On the nose, it showcases extraordinary spice and chocolate aromas, along with a beautiful fruit expression. It is rich and dense on the palate.
