Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A brilliant white from this team, the 2023 Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc is based on 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon and reveals a touch more inward, mineral-laced character than the Pagodes Blanc. Ripe citrus, orange pith, white flowers, and a liqueur of rocks-like minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, fresh, focused, and vibrant on the palate, with bright, juicy acidity, remarkable purity, and a great finish. It's another sensational white from this estate that will keep for a solid two decades. Drink 2026-2045.

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.
