Château Cos d'Estournel 2024

Der Château Cos d'Estournel ist ein kräftiger und charmanter Wein, für einen Saint-Estèphe ist er grosszügig und von erstaunlicher Finesse. Der 2. Cru Classé kann lange im Keller gelagert werden. Die Assemblage aus hauptsächlich Cabernet Sauvignon (bis zu 80%) wird 18 Monate in Holzfässern (ca. 80% neues Holz) ausgebaut. Der Weinkeller von Cos d'Estournel befindet sich in einem architektonisch aussergewöhnlichen Gebäude und ist weltweit einzigartig: Der Transfer von einem Behälter in den anderen erfolgt durch Schwerkraft, um die Qualität des Weins zu bewahren.

The 2024 Cos d'Estournel is shaping up beautifully. Offering up aromas of sweet cassis, plums, pencil shavings and iris, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, reflecting this estate's pivot to a more harmonious, less aggressively extracted style. With a layered, seamless core of fruit framed by plenty of sweet, powdery tannin, it's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot that checks in at 12.7% alcohol. Cos is an early-ripening terroir, and that clearly played to the relative strengths of the vintage. Harvest here began with the estate's old-vine Merlot on gravel on September 23, concluding with the last Cabernet Sauvignon on October 7.

The 2024 Cos d'Estournel could very well be one of the wines of the vintage. Bright and vibrant in the glass, with tons of energy, the 2024 impresses with its vertical structure, depth and overall balance. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, lavender and mocha are beautifully delineated throughout. The 2024 is super-classic. The modest 12.8% alcohol is notable, especially because that also means there is less extraction of wood. Cos is one of my early favorites in 2024. 2034 - 2054
