[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”custom-intro”]The Naples Winter Wine Festival is one of the most favorite highlights of the winter season in the United States. Organised every January in Naples, Florida, this unmissable event gathers some 600 guests from all around the world during 3 days, with wine celebrations, concerts and, above all, an extraordinary charity dinner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For the 4th consecutive year, Cos d\u2019Estournel took part in the festivities with two precious lots offered for the auction, sold in profit of the Naples Children & Education Foundation: since its creation in 2001, the Naples Children & Education Foundation has gathered more than $176 million, all to benefit several charity programs for at-risk and underprivileged children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3868″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The culmination of the Naples Winter Wine Festival was once more the charity dinner. A superlative evening to take pride in, even for Cos d\u2019Estournel, as the auction broke records. With winning bids as high as $130.000 for the lot comprising a C0S100 Double Magnum and a stay at La R\u00e9serve Paris H\u00f4tel & Spa, and $240.000 for the COS100 Balthazar and a stay at La Chartreuse de Cos, new highs were set! [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]By donating for the auction two bottles of the iconic COS100, a wine composed entirely of Merlot harvested in 2015 exclusively from the \u201cParcelle des Femmes\u201d \u2013 planted by the women of the estate as their male counterparts battled on the fronts of World War I \u2013 Cos d\u2019Estournel pursues its tradition of excellence and commitment in service of transmission.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3869″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]An extraordinary and exceptional wine, COS100 will be sold outside traditional distribution networks. Only two barrelfuls of the wine were produced, yielding 100 Double Magnums (3 liters) and 10 Balthazars (12 liters). Following the unveiling of COS100 in 2018 at two unprecedented auctions in New York and Hong Kong, during which 2 Balthazars and 2 Double Magnums were sold, and after the 2019 Naples Winter Wine Festival, Cos d\u2019Estournel offers you the opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining Double Magnums available for sale.
