COS D'ESTOURNEL
Just opposite Château Lafite, across the road that divides St.-Estèphe from Pauillac, stands a château that is unique in both its architecture and in its winemaking. The Château itself is an exotic, esoteric monument to the eccentric owner Louis Gaspard d'Estournel, a man so enamored of the architecture in the Arab countries he visited on horse trading business that he decided to bring a taste of the near East back to Bordeaux. The style of the wines made at Château Cos d'Estournel are as unique as the building itself. For one, there is an unusually high percentage of Merlot, around 40 in the wines produced at Cos. Secondly, Cos is known for it's extensive use of new oak casks. Both of these factors combine to create a rich, fleshy wine that is lighter and suppler than its St.-Estèphian brethren. It is a wine that is as unique as the building in which it is made.
