2012 | Chateau Cos D'Estournel | Chateau Cos D'Estournel Blanc

This Spicy, cool wine has a touch of green as well as fresh fruit. It's textured with a salty, herbaceous feel, full body, bright acidity and a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Made from 77% Sauvignon Blanc and 23% Semillon, this terrific effort was cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare. From the same vineyard in the northern Medoc as their Goulee, it exhibits plenty of crushed rock, honeyed grapefruit and tangerine oil characteristics in a medium-bodied, zesty, vibrant, exuberant style.

• James Suckling: A pretty and lively white with sliced-lemon, lime and honey character. Full body, bright acidity and a long finish. Tight and holding back its true excellence. Opulent. Three quarters are sauvingon blanc and one quarter is sémllion.

Producer Information

Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a Grand Cru vineyard located in St. Estephe. Its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets, all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Chateau Cos d'Estournel today covers 170 acres separated from Chateau Lafite, along the southern edge, by the stream between St. Estephe and Pauillac. The gravelly soil, over a flint, limestone and silicate subsoil low in nitrogen, has eroded over centuries to form steep ridges which perfectly drain the vineyards. The vineyards are planted 60 percent in Cabernet Sauvignon vines, 2 percent of Cabernet Franc, and 38 percent in Merlot. Naturally, the percentage of Cabernet or Merlot in the composition of each vintage depends on the climate which favors one grape variety or the other.
