\nDuring 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.
\nThe 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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4031″ img_size=”601×338″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Cos d’Estournel 2018″ font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Finely structured and vibrant, Cos d\u2019Estournel 2018 is both powerful and balanced, with very soft tannins. It offers a multitude of nuances, including remarkably elegant spices and an extremely long and lingering finish.
