Château Cos d’Estournel

Château Cos d’Estournel has a long and distinguished history as a Bordeaux wine property in the Saint Estephe appellation and is very famous for its unique architecture (indian inspiration).
Classified as a prestigious Second Growth in the original Bordeaux Classification of 1855 and often considered as the archetypal Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel owes its name to Louis Gaspard d’Estournel, after its creation in 1811. But also from « Cos » which means literally in Gascony « Rocks hill ».

After severals changes of ownership (Such as Fernand Ginestet, co-owner of Château Margaux), the estate was owned in 2000 by Michel Reybier, a rich and passionate industrialist (former owner of Aoste Group, co-owner of Mama Shelter, and owner of Palace/luxury hotels).
He has invested a substantial amount in the wine making facilities in particular. Nowadays, Château Cos d’Estournel is known to have one of the most beautiful and modern wine cellar in Bordeaux (Wilmotte & Associés architects).

Perched on a magnificent emplacement of the Médoc, Château Cos d’Estournel enjoys an unimpeded view over the Gironde estuary from the highest hill of the area. The Estate is a direct neighbour of Château Lafite Rothschild.
The terroir is very complex, made up with clay, gravel, sand and limestone soil.
