“Grandiose,” “immense,” “exceptionally balanced”: to describe the 2018 vintage of Cos d’Estournel, only superlatives will do.
During the En Primeur week in April, we welcomed more than 2000 wine merchants, brokers, distributors, journalists and critics to taste and assess our wines during their ageing. It was last June that the 2018 vintage of Cos d’Estournel was released for consumers all over the world.
The tenth to be crafted in our gravitational cellars, the 2018 vintage demonstrates the incredible ability of our terroir to adapt to highly contrasted meteorological events.
