    Producer

    Producer

    The Cos d'Estournel vineyard stretches across gravelly and clay-limestone soils, typical of the Saint-Estèphe region. These well-drained soils allow the vine roots to penetrate deeply, ensuring good absorption of nutrients and water. Bordeaux's temperate oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, promotes optimal grape ripening. The estate primarily cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which thrive in this unique terroir, producing wines of great aromatic richness and remarkable complexity.

    Owner and history

    Today, Château Cos d'Estournel is managed by Michel Reybier, a businessman with a passion for wine. Under his leadership, the estate has experienced a renaissance, blending innovation with respect for tradition. Michel Reybier has successfully promoted ancestral know-how while integrating sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. His commitment to quality is reflected in every bottle, and he continues to enhance Cos d'Estournel's international reputation. The legacy of Louis Gaspard d'Estournel lives on, and each wine produced bears witness to this passion for the terroir and excellence.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for the 2017 Pagodes de Cos is carried out with the utmost care, respecting the estate's traditions. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and hand-sorted to guarantee quality. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for precise temperature control. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for approximately 12 months. This aging process imparts subtle woody notes to the wine while preserving the pure expression of the grape varieties. Modern and traditional winemaking techniques complement each other to create a harmonious and elegant wine.
