Once an integral part of Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel\u2019s original estate in the mid-nineteenth century, the estate grows its vines on slopes whose \u00a0exposures contrast those of the prestigious vineyard of Cos d\u2019Estournel.<\/p>\n

Northern and western exposures, a geological diversity and prevailing winds forge wines suffused with the freshness of the nearby ocean. Each vintage is an expression of the nuances of these slopes. Plot selection and a minimalist approach to winemaking are carried out with a single goal in mind: the \u00a0precision and balance of the blend.<\/p>\n

Rather than delivering a formatted style, each vintage is a faithful expression of the grapes and the specificities of the terroir that yield them, with a strength and sincerity that reflect the temperament of the site on which they grow. Helmed by Michel Reybier and his family, Cos Labory is a testament to an ongoing commitment to bringing the appellation of Saint-Est\u00e8phe to its truest forms of expression.<\/p>\n

The 2024 vintage offers a vibrancy that is both intense and light and begs to be enjoyed from a young age.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Cos Labory is delightfully enchanting, with velvety texture, aromas of red berries and peppery notes, offering vivacity, balance and freshness.<\/p>\n
