Perfectly adapted to the terroir in which they thrive, the vines of Cos d’Estournel were able to resist the year’s extreme weather conditions in a most remarkable fashion, showing not a single sign of water stress, thanks to their roots, which continue to grow deeper from one year to the next.
These conditions were particularly favorable to the estate’s Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which reached an unprecedented level of concentration and depth. Likewise, our Sémillon grapes attained a higher level of expression and proved ideal to be used in greater proportions than usual in the final blend of Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2019.
Rich and complex, the 2019 vintage delivers aromas of jasmine and grapefruit that are a lovely counterpoint to its distinctive briny character. A finely structured, sophisticated wine, Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2019 has exceptional cellaring potential.
