[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Audacity and vision” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Indeed two of the character traits that best defined Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel. Determined and willing to take risks, the founder of Cos d\u2019Estournel sought throughout his lifetime to sublimate the estate\u2019s terroir. The investments he made\u2014both personal and financial\u2014allowed him to expand the vineyard from fourteen to forty-five hectares within a mere few years. This expansion also meant widened horizons for Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel and the wine he produced would be recognized around the globe. He was particularly interested in opportunities in Asia, something that further extended the estate\u2019s reputation while lending it an exotic touch that continues to characterize its singular identity to this day.<\/p>\n

Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel was devoted to building the legendary reputation that he felt his estate deserved. His ambition still resonates among the vines and within the walls of the edifices of Cos d\u2019Estournel, as well as in the hearts of the men and women who are driven by their own zeal for the estate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2423″ img_size=”1620×1080″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#a30b34″][vc_custom_heading text=”As impassioned as his illustrious predecessor, Michel Reybier demonstrates the same exacting care as Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel among the vines and in crafting the wines of the estate.” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#a30b34″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2403″ img_size=”1620×1080″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Today, audacity and vision remain guiding principles for Michel Reybier, owner of Cos d\u2019Estournel since 2000, in every initiative he pursues. As impassioned as his illustrious predecessor, Michel Reybier demonstrates the same exacting care as Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel among the vines and in crafting the wines of the estate. For the former, \u201cit was Cos, and only Cos,\u201d an estate made utterly unique by its remarkable history but also by the quality of its wine, an estate where a nonconformist spirit has resulted in a finely tuned form of excellence.<\/p>\n

A spiritual heir of Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel, Michel Reybier continues to bring this precious legacy to life as he further develops Cos d\u2019Estournel in a perpetually innovative fashion. The estate\u2019s gravity-based cellars and its peerless \u0153noth\u00e8que are stunning examples of this philosophy, as is the in-depth study of its soils that has allowed the teams to ensure that each grape variety is perfectly adapted to the terroir in which it grows.

Both are driven by an altruistic ambition to deliver the best of what the estate has to offer and the desire to be different while respecting the estate\u2019s very unique past. Day in and day out, Cos d\u2019Estournel is defined by its ceaseless quest to bring this daring vision to life, forever ahead of its time.
