Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Saint-Estéphe

The Château is named after its owner, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel, whose travels to the Orient significantly influenced the design of the estate and earned him the nickname "Maharaja of St. Estèphe." Visitors are greeted by the "Indian Elephant" statue as they approach the Château, and the elephant is also present in the beautifully designed tasting room. Michel Reybier, who has owned the property since 2000, has remained true to Louis Gaspard's avant-garde style. Furthermore, he has massively increased the quality of the wines. Less than 1000 cases of Cos d'Estournel's white wine are produced annually, made from grapes from the Goulee vineyard in northern Médoc.

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
