Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Drinking at point today, the 2000 Château Cos D'Estournel offers a beautifully complex, mature profile of darker fruits, leafy tobacco, cedarwood, and plenty of earthy, spicy nuances. It’s medium-bodied, elegant, and layered on the palate, with fine, integrated tannins. I love it today, but it will no doubt evolve gracefully over the coming 15-20 years. The blend of the 2000 is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Cos d'Estournel, a Second Cru Classé of Saint-Estèphe, is an iconic estate in the Médoc. Its founder, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel, a prominent figure of the 19th century, was one of the first to export his wines to India, earning him the nickname "Maharaja of Saint-Estèphe." Today, Michel Reybier is dedicated to revealing the full potential of this remarkable terroir. Ideally situated on a hill overlooking the Gironde, the vineyard grants the wines of Cos d'Estournel remarkable elegance, aromatic complexity, and aging potential, where Cabernet Sauvignon expresses itself with particular intensity. In addition to the grand vin Château Cos d'Estournel, the estate also produces Les Pagodes de Cos, an ambitious second wine, as well as a rare Cos d'Estournel Blanc, testifying to the richness of the terroir. Legend has it that the château's iconic pagodas were inspired by the oriental architecture discovered during its founder's travels. More recently, the range has been enriched with G d'Estournel, sourced from rigorously selected plots in the northern Médoc. The estate works notably with appellations such as Second Crus, which extend its signature with consistency. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Cos d'Estournel 'Les Pagodes de Cos', and Château Cos d'Estournel Blanc, all useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
