Château Cos d’Estournel 2016 | Saint-Estèphe Grand Cru Classé

Experience the legendary 2016 vintage from Bordeaux’s iconic Château Cos d’Estournel, a Second Growth estate renowned for its powerful yet refined Saint-Estèphe wines. This exquisite blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc has earned perfect 100-point scores from James Suckling and Wine Advocate, cementing its status as one of the finest Bordeaux wines of the decade.

A Masterpiece of Balance & Complexity

The 2016 Cos d’Estournel captivates with its deep garnet hue and intoxicating aromas of crème de cassis, wild blueberries, and crushed violets, layered with exotic sandalwood, incense, and stony minerality. On the palate, expect a thrilling interplay of density and elegance—silky tannins frame vibrant blackberry and plum flavors, lifted by fresh acidity and a whisper of Asian spices.

Critics praise its “electric” energy (Wine Advocate) and “iron fist in a velvet glove” structure (Jeb Dunnuck 99pts), with a finish that lingers for minutes. While approachable now, this age-worthy Bordeaux red wine will evolve magnificently over the next 20+ years.
